There are quite a few resources if you do a Google search and printable posters etc. Last year we did some wall displays with information about what Matariki is so the residents, staff and families could learn about it. We also used star buntings which looked lovely. This year, we plan to make a Korowai getting residents to paint the feathers using a template from Golden Carers ( look at the Waitangi Day resources on GC). My colleague also suggested hanging cardboard stars from the ceiling and putting the name of each Matariki star on it, she does this at home with her children.
This site is amazing! I'm not sure how I survived before I was introduced to this! Something for every occasion! So many ways for the clients to reminisce and learn about new things. Well worth the membership fee. Thank you!
