Tuwharetoa Festival

Congratulations to all the Team Tauhara Kapahaka Group. You sounded and looked wonderful!!

Mystery Reader!!

Today we had a lovely surprise after we got back from swimming. Patrick's granny Julie arrived all the way from Rotorua to read to us! She chose one of our favourite authors, Roald Dahl, with a story called The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me. It's quite long so she kindly left it behind for us to finish, and in the holidays Patrick will take it back for us. Julie said that she reads stories to Patrick over the phone!! How cool is that Patrick!!! Thanks Julie.

Mystery Guest

Hi everyone!
Last Friday we had a lovely surprise when Millie's dad Darren came in and told us all about his work as a pilot. He showed us a video of all the exciting places he goes to in Papua New Guinea. It was very interesting to compare our lives here in New Zealand to life in a small village over there.

Thanks Darren! I think there were quite a few people who decided that they might like to be a pilot  and have exciting adventures like you do, when they grow up!
