Over the past 3 years, our Kahui ako has looked into supporting tamariki with their year 6 transistion to Mokoia Intermediate.

As Matua Regan mentioned we are lucky enough to have 50 mountain bikes for the kids to use. Attached is some photos of the kids enjoying the bikes and learning some new skills.

A big thank you to Mitre 10 Mega Rotorua, who have donated some building materials to the school for the children to use.

After Room 1 and 8's visit to Hannahs Bay with Tatau Pounamu, Baden was keen to go back to Hannahs Bay/Waikawau and look in the traps again. They came across this! We have messaged Tatau Pounamu to let them know. Our kura now have some of these traps in our school (thanks to Tatau Pounamu). Along with these traps, Nature walks and the creation of bird feeders, to entice and encourage bird life to return, is happening. All tamariki who are involved in this learning are all passionate about trapping pests to help to save our birds and plants. Tau kě!

Thanks to all of our tamariki, staff and parents/whānau for joining us today.

A few photos from Breakfast Club this week.

A fast paced game was played at lunchtime today.
