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!

A treaty is a written list of promises.

Everyone agreed on our list.

Haere ra Josiah and Levi. 

We learnt to get in and out of any pool safely.
