Marae Sleepover

10th March, 2009


Yay! School is finished! Mrs. Yang told us to line up outside our classroom. We know what you are wondering. Why did we have to line up after school? It was time for Year 5 students' Marae Sleepover.

Be with us, and we will tell you about our exciting trip!

Thanks to all teachers and parent helpers who gave up their spare time and came to our sleepover! Thanks to all staff who worked at the Te Tahawai Marae.
