Matariki at Tawa Library

Tawa Library had fun with pois, porotiti (Maori musical instrument) and stick games at our July holiday programme.

First up librarian Brigid read us The fish of Maui along with some other great Maori legends. Then we all had a go at fishing up some Maori place names which we had to place on a map of New Zealand. It was fun trying to work out where they all went.

We then had heaps of fun learning how to play the stick game. We learnt lots of different moves and we had sticks flying everywhere.  Even the parents joined in for that.
