Friday Helpers

On Friday afternoon seven pupils from the Mt Hobson Middle School come to Pt England to do Community Service.  They came to help us with some paper weaving activities as it will soon be Matariki (the Maori New Year).  Weaving new baskets is one of the traditional crafts undertaken during Matariki.  It was a bit tricky trying to make the paper go over and under but with an extra pair of hands to help the children were soon able to complete the task.
