Marae Camp We had a great time at KoroKota Marae.The weather was hot -but not too hot.We had the chance to meet lots of parents.There were lots of oppoprtunities for us to play games and talk with students from other classes. The food of course was awesome! Hopefully we will be back again soon. Thank you to the Marae committee and all the other helpers. We had the best time.



We also had a brilliant time at the Whangarei Primary School Winter Sports held at Kensington.It was wonderful to have fine weather and super coaches.-Bruce Hare,Michelle Ripley and Mr Moses- Shelford. We played netball,football,and Table Tennis.Players who stood out with their sportsmanship and skills were Laura Hare,Matui Korewha,Leone Van Rooyen and Te Aroha Clark. However everyone improved their skills hugely and put great team efforts.

What an amazing day.We performed our play about the waka Aotea and the Rangatira Turi. Our moveable waka was a great hit. Everyone played their part and we had a great meal.

Students class rules about responsiblity, respect and staying safe. Look through to see what you think.

Term 3 is well and truly underway.We are looking at the countries which are taking part in the rugby World Cup and what makes New Zealand such a special place. The weather is slowly getting warmer and we are able to play with out getting so wet or cold.Room 4 has decided that they will be responsible for the opening of the Junior PE shed and issuing lots of sports equipment to play with at interval and lunch time.
