It's been a busy week for us in Room 20!
On Monday we celebrated the opening of the Tōtara playground, and what an amazing playground it is! It’s been a popular, busy place and a new favourite to add to our list of fun things we love about Hamilton East.
Then on Tuesday, we began our swimming lessons which we will have every Tuesday and Wednesday morning. On Tuesday it was raining, and lots of students asked why we were going swimming when it was raining…so our teacher had to remind us that we were going to get wet anyway!
However, Friday was simply the best!
Today we went to Te Parapara (the Māori gardens) at the Hamilton Gardens. First, we went on the bus there, then we walked to Te Parapara Garden and saw the Pātaka a storehouse raised upon posts (a giant pantry), lots of carvings, a giant kūmara patch and many traditional crops.
Then we had our morning tea under a beautiful shady tree, followed by some free time on the playground. When we returned to school, we had a dip in the pool with Room 19 - and it was so nice to cool off.
What a great day - enjoyed by all.
