Description
This delicious poster is perfect at anytime of year, but especially Matariki…
There’s no better way to celebrate a special occasion than with a shared kai, and this year’s Matariki theme of ‘Matariki heri kai’ (Matariki the bringer of food) is the perfect excuse for it!
This collaborative poster features 32 A4 pages which assemble to make a large wall display (1.7 X 1.2 metres in size)
- This set contains 32 pieces (hopefully no one has a class size larger than that!) In every collaborative poster, some pieces contain more detail than others—you can always hand out detailed pieces first & save the less complicated pieces for the early finishers.
- You could choose to keep the completed image a secret (only to be revealed once it’s assembled) or share the completed image before starting to help guide their colour choices.
This poster features:
- Food glorious foooooood!
- This poster features a hangi pit in the background (which is full of kai) that shows the various stages involved with laying a hangi – a freshly dug hole, hot rocks, metal kai baskets, wet sacks, corrugated iron and earth)
- The sky above the hangi pit shows the Matariki constellation as well as Puanga in the top right corner
- In front of the Hangi are baskets of: prepared items ready to go in the hangi; sacks & woven kete full of puha, fish heads, kai moana, seasonal produce, kumara & Māori potatoes; platters showing koura (crayfish) and shellfish
- The foreground features a large pot of boil-up complete with fry bread and whitebait fritters – yuummmm! Add your class name or date to your pot to further personalise your poster.
