The Treaty of Waitangi

We have been learning about the  Treaty of Waitangi and why it is important for all New Zealanders. We made a video to share our learning.

Xmas Decorations

Today we had a lot of fun making Christmas decorations. 

Our theme was 'Xmas Trees', we started by making a finger print xmas tree card, followed by a glittery xmas tree with a candy cane and then a xmas tree ornament for our trees.

Reindeer Cookies

Today the students had fun making some tasty reindeer biscuit treats. They used arrowroot biscuits, nutella, M&Ms and pretzels. It was a lovely treat to end a fun day!

EOTC Activity - Day 3 - Friday Funday

Today we had a super fun day at school. School was transformed into a mini gala with bouncy castles, a water slide, tug of war and an ice cream truck. The students enjoyed taking part in all the fun festivities!

A huge thank you again to all our whanau who supported us during the day and especially to Channy for bringing her ice cream truck along to really make it the best Friday ever for every child in the school. What a lovely legend!

EOTC Activity - Day 2 - Waiari

Today we went out to Sir's Waiari on the Karikari Penisula. It is a beautiful spot and we were very lucky to go there. The students had a great day; swimming, snorkelling, kayaking, exploring rock pools and playing the tug of war with Sir's encouragement! They especially loved the burgers! 

Thank you to Sir, Mrs Windleborn, Mrs Davan and all our whanau, who came to support us on the day! 

Ryan - My favorite day was at Waiari. I liked kayaking, snorkeling and swimming. Me, Jackson and Whaea Deb saw four snapper when we were snorkeling. When I got out of the water I was like an ice block, I was a lot warmer when I put dry clothes on. I really enjoyed the delicious burgers.

EOTC Activity - Day 1 - Forestry Walk to Lake Ngatu

We had a fantastic start to our EOTC activities today at Lake Ngatu. We walked from 90 Mile Beach through the forestry to the Lake which took about an hour, the students were great (only a few complaints near the end). They certainly appreciated the lake and their lunch boxes when we got there. There was lots of swimming, chilling and eating! Our day ended with a special ice block treat from Margy Job which was absolutely lovely and just what we needed before walking back to school. 

Thank you to all the whanau who took time to come and support us on the day. We appreciate you all!
