Assembly Certificates

Well done to Quinn, Lucy and Kasen for receiving certificates at the Assembly on Monday.
Also an extra bit a praise to everyone who worked really hard leading up to the Cross Country. You all deserve a certificate!

Cross Country

What an amazing effort by all the children today. The sun was out for a great event made fabulous by all our wonderful kids at Papakowhai School. Well done to everyone!

I didn't manage a photo of everyone sorry...Bryce you were running too fast,  your face is slightly covered!

Wet day turf

The field was closed so we had our cross country practise on the turf...

Pattern making by Dane and Declan

We worked really hard to make these patterns. 

Bug Walk

Check out what we found on our bug walk.

Our focus was to see what we could find and where certain bugs lived. Manaaki (care) or the bush and bugs was key.
