Project Island Song

Last term some of us were lucky enough to go to Otehei Bay with Project Island Song. We had a great day learning about how they trap pests to protect the native birds on the islands around the Bay of Islands (Ipipiri). Here are a couple of movies the children made after the trip.

Greats and Grands Day 2018

Last week we had our annual Greats and Grands (grandparents) Day. This is always a popular event and as usual we had a fabulous turn out.

The children shared items with the grandparents and the grandparents joined us for a fun jump jam. We took them to our class and shared our blog and gave them the calendars we made. It was such a fun day. Thank you to everyone who came.

Waiting patiently to begin.
