 Te Pihi in 2024!!

Welcome to all our new students and their families! We are happy to have you all in the Te Pihi whanau!

Look at our kind and happy tamariki!

End of Year Trip!

 Ahipara Beach Fun!

Last Friday we set off in cars and a bus to have some end-of-year fun, as a reward for all our hard work this year! The four Junior classes went to Korora St Park for a play, ice-blocks and morning tea. Then we went to the beachfront to play in the sand and rockpools and have lunch. 

Everyone had a great time, had loads of fun and were perfectly behaved! Thank you so much to all our whanau who came to transport, help out and supervise!

Hangin'10!

Sheltering from a shower.

Busy creative sand play!

This pool was chest-deep!

Crab hunting!

The deepest pool was up to our necks!

Thanks Rawiri, for the pack-up snacks!

Science in a Story

 Cooper the Ant!

Te Pihi read a great story called 'Grant the Ant.' We learnt a lot about an ant colony, the ants' tasks, and their life cycle.

Cooper wrote a great story and was our 'Writer of the Day!'

Then Cooper volunteered to act as an ant and show part of the the life cycle. Science is fun!

The queen lays the eggs.
When the larvae hatch out, they spin a cocoon around themselves.

Breaking out of the cocoon after four months! "How's that!?"

Now he is called a pupae. He wakes up so hungry!

Off goes Cooper the Ant to find food wherever he can.

Mm-mm... yummy ant food at the Seedling Cafe!!
