Kiwi kids

[MisforMama]

Hi, my husband is a kiwi and we would love to meet other families so our son can get to know this part of his heritage. I've just found out that a boy who recently left our nursery went to what they call "Maori club". I would be very interested if there is a local group or a London one. Any suggestions will be very appreciated.

Hi there,

There are lots of kiwi families locally, and lots on the forum. A while back we started thinking about arranging a regular meet up or playgroup but it hasn't really got off the ground (I'm guilty of not doing anything to push it!). I keep thinking a kiwi picnic or BBQ would be nice, maybe we should arrange one for the summer.

There is a kohanga reo group that meets at NZ House, on Haymarket, not sure if it's every week or not, but it's in the weekends and I know a few people who go and love it. I keep meaning to take my kids there but weekends end up too busy.

Yes and I was meant to do a kiwi mums drinks to help kick off the proceedings.

Very slack, sorry

Someone posted about another group so let me try and dig it out...

You guys are aware of Ngati Ranana, the NZ Society, Kiwis in London, etc aren't you? Great groups and Ngati Ranana has a lovely Maori/Pakeha (well anyone really) wee group fr kids to learn about NZ culture.
