Visit from Hokitika Primary Bilingual class

Yesterday, we had a visit from the bilingual class from Hokitika Primary School. They had come up to Greymouth to do some rock climbing and had a spare hour to stop in and see us. We introduced ourselves and then sang some waiata, The Matariki Macarena and Taukaea Aroha (Ko te Whirika) and then went outside to play Crazy tag.

Matariki planting

This week we were lucky enough to have Whaea Eli come into school and work with some classes in the garden. The classes planted seeds and seedlings in our greenhouses and some children learnt how to cut the runners off the strawberry plants to replant them. Te Hiringa joined Mamaku 3 for their gardening. Whaea Eli also offered to run a gardening club at school too, lucky us!
