Planting Day at Lake Ngatu

One of our school values at Paparore School is "Community and Partnerships".

This morning we joined some community organisations like DOC, Bushlands Trust, Summit Forests and Ngai Takato for planting at Lake Ngatu. Some of our parents joined in as well. The adults dug the holes and the students planted the small trees. Then we got to have a barbecue lunch. It was lots of fun and we learnt how to work as a team.

Learning about precious rocks!

Sylvie's reading group read a journal story called "Rock Doc". A rock doctor's job is called a geologist. Sylvie brought an amethyst to school (like the one in her story). We got to touch it. It felt rough and spiky.

Warm Winter Beanies!

 Mrs Brydon's Mum kindly knitted beanies for everyone in Te Pihi!

We wore them all day... even inside!

These are ours to keep forever!

We got to choose the colour we liked.

Colourful, cute and cosy!

What a great way to start winter.

We all wrote thank you letters and made a huge card!

Thank you Mrs Berghan!
