Waiata with Darryl

We have celebrated te wiki o te maori this week in so many ways.

Expo hosted by Rangitane o Tamaki nui a rua at The Hub and today with a sausage sizzle and waiata at the Ngati Kahungunu Office in Tamaki nui a rua.

Kai time!!

A big thank you to both these groups for the maanaki they showed us.

Our farewell

Receiving The Sacrament of Eucharist.

Today Dylan Bowles came and shared his experience of Receiving First Eucharist with our class.

We had lots of questions for him about his feelings and the positives for him.

we presented him with a special card to show our appreciation for his visit to us.

Taylor said, "I liked seeing the things he bought to show us that he received on this special day for him."
