Youngsters at Avon Kindergarten celebrate Puanga with family

Anastasia (3) concentrates on helping preparing the vegetables for the meal.

Avon Kindergarten celebrated Puanga on Friday, June 28.

The children helped to prepare some vegetables to be roasted for the evening.

Children, whānau and staff gathered as the sun set, the fairy lights were twinkling and the glow sticks glowing.

They celebrated with songs they had learnt in te reo māori, shared the kai and then roasted marshmallows over the fire.
