Garden Guru's

 



It's spring! Time to plant our garden. Yesterday Miss B and her garden guru friends went out to work in the garden while there was a spot of fine weather. They cleared the weeds, dug over the garden and planted new things. We now have strawberries, spinach, silverbeet, beans, lettuce, broccoli, spring onions, carrots and beetroot planted. We hope they all grow big, strong and healthy so we can have tasty things to eat next term.

Congatulations senior school children on your amazing performance yesterday at the Polynesian festival, we were all so proud of you and the way you represented our school! Ka rawe!!!

Take a look at some of the thoughts Lucy, Amelia, Elisha, Lucas and Sara had about our day. They are learning to blog our news themselves.

Kapa haka

On Thursday the senior school went to the Poly fest. When we got there we had to put our bags beside the wall and we put our shoes and socks there as well. Then we moved up to the front of the court. When it was our turn the girls had to line up first then the boys. When we finished we went home.
