During the year Matakids connects children with local artists, sports tutors and runs special projects to explore new skills and develop hidden talents that the children may have waiting to be found and this year.

Our aim in Term 4 and Term 1 2023 is to have your little ones swimming and building a love for the water and giving them a sense of independence and confidence with lots of fun along the way!

  • A strong emphasis is placed on water safety skills and aim to nurture a lifelong love of the water

In the past we have had our talented Northland Artist, LeeAnn Thoresen
Mosaic rock art - we look at different animals and create an animal on a rock for the garden
Canvas art – create a mixed media background and paint a creature on top
Mixed media and drawing skills
Rock painting – make a tic tac toe board and artistically paint the pieces to play with


Term 3 School holidays we got these fun machines and the children love them. So I’m sure they will play a big part in our Summer Holiday Programme.
