Sunnyhills Kapahaka rocks at the Koanga Festival at BBI!

Timothy and Olivia represented our school with great enthusiasm and we are so proud of you 2! You have practised your waiata and kanikani with the Kapahaka group all year and are amongst the youngest of our performers! 





Whaea Tearani, Tiana, Kylie and Matua Jimmy have led our tamariki beautifully and thank you to our whanau for getting us to school for our practices.

Matariki celebration in Room 20

During the week we have been making Manu Taratahi - triangular kites. Kites can be flown to predict the future at Matariki, if the kite flies well the future of our crops planted now will be bright! 






Children cut and wove paper first similar to Harakeke (flax) and then glued feathers and paua paper shaped for eyes.
