Colenso Early Childhood Centre: "The children love each time a new book arrives from Te Reo Singalong. Matariki is definitely a favourite. They love the tune and rhythm of the song, and the story line is something they are familiar with. These books make connections for each child. It is relevant to them in their world. They are so focussed when these books are used at rest time. The repetitive rhyme encourages the children to participate in the story. These books are a rich resource that excites our children and empowers them to learn."
