Marae Visit

On Wednesday 28th of August 2019 we went to a Marae. Once we got off the bus we got welcomed on to the Marae by the Kaikaranga. It was really fun, we got to listen to Maori myths. After that we got get something to eat. We got to eat biscuits, Milo and scones. Once we  finished we all went outside to have a run a round. After that we did a Haka with all the year 6's and year 5's. It was really fun!

Year Six Camp

Year 6 Camp

While the rest of the school was sleeping, enjoying their last day of the school holidays the year
six were awake grabbing the last of their essential camp items. Stuffing the cars full of luggage
we hit the road making our way up to MERC, Long Bay Beach for the annual Year 6 Leadership Camp. It was a fun, busy and hot week with lots of activities and things to do. There was so much
to do with out amazing instructors and helpers, activities like paddle boarding, archery, abseiling,
kayaking, rock climbing, giants ladder, stack’em and the list goes on. After the camp day we had
plenty to do at night with the camp mass, school council voting, the talent quest and even a
spooky game of spot light.


My two favourite activities were abseiling and giant paddle boarding.

Graduation mass

Yesterday we had our Graduation mass at 5.30. It was for all the year sixes because they are going to another school and also for the year fives because we are going to be year sixes next year. I am really excited to be a year six but I am also really sad because the year sixes are going and most of my friends are year sixes.

Mini BB Fair

Yesterday we had a fair. The fair was called the Mini BB Fair. It was really fun because you got to buy lots of books and baking that's why its called the Mini BB Fair (the BB means books and baking). I felt really bad and sick afterwards because I had too many lollies. Oops!
