Marae Trip

On Tuesday we went to  Puketeraki Marae with some of the other senior rooms. The weather wasn't very good as we left school but we hoped it was going to improve. The bus trip took about 40 minutes . Our buses backed up the drive and we were ready to be welcomed onto the marae by 10:00.

Once we were on the marae we took off our shoes and went inside to hear about the organisation for the day. After that we shared kai and then went into our group activities.  There were 3 groups; waiata, card making and rakau.

We enjoyed all of the activities. By the time we had lunch the weather had improved and we could play outside.
There was one more group rotation after lunch and then we thanked everyone and got back on the buses and headed back to school. We had had a great day.

Stories from S2

         

                                  The Very Small School Flood

I was rushing from my class up to the middle school with my bag on my head as
protection from the rain. I saw the water rushing down the hill. I felt my shoes
 getting heavier and heavier as the water rushed into my shoes and through my
socks. I looked at the top field and nearly all of it was covered in water. I rushed
up to H2 and then I looked out the door and there was my dad, Storm. As we ran
along the right hand side path I looked to my right and I could see water running
down the fence like mini water falls.

D. S. O. Visit

The whole school was lucky to have a visit from the Dunedin Symphony Orchestra.
They explained each of their instruments and talked about the sections of the orchestra.
We listened to them play and really enjoyed the visit.
