Visit to the Whare Akoranga

Te Hiringa went for a visit to the Whare Akoranga at Greymouth High school on Monday. We went to look at th carvings on the front of the Whare Akoranga and listen to the story behind what each of the carvings meant. Whaea Catherine told us the story of how Aoraki and his brothers became the Southern Alps as they huddle on the back of their upturned waka. We also played games, sang waiata and did our mihi.

Book Week 2019

Book week is one of Whaea Katie's favourite weeks of the year! We had a week filled with fun. We created our own door display of a book we had read, did buddy reading and had our book character assembly. We love seeing what the teachers dress up as and this year they came as crayons from the book 'The day the Crayons quit', which also happens to be one of our teacher's favourite books!
