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.

  3. Kia ora Te hiringa, I'm Thom from Yaldhurst school.
    It is cool that you guys met up with another school, because it is something different from usual. Did that other school have fun rock climbing? That reminds me of the time when my class when on camp and there was a place like clip and climb there, it was really fun.

    By the looks of these pictures you had lots of fun with the other school, I have a question though, what is crazy tag? Is it like everybody's in, either way it sounds really fun.
    Hope you had lots of fun.
    From Thom

  8. Hello Greymain, I am Zack from Yaldhurst School!


    I Really like this blog post because it is not really short but it is not really long ethier I really like that because it shows that you have put in effort to not make it to long or short I really like this because also it makes people not want to skip past it they want to stop and read it!

    Also I wanted to know do you like blogging?
    And did you read this comment?

    Next time I think you can work on putting all of those pictures into one big doc so it is not like a big toilet roll and people dont have to scroll down for a long time I think that this would helpe because it makes your blog look like you have put in lots of effort not just whipped up a really quick blog that takes 5 mintues!

    Bye Zack From Yaldhy!
