Poor Parjap

Our friend Parjap broke his leg.  So at school it is easier for him to use a wheelchair when he has to go a long distance.  We all wanted to see what it was like in the wheelchair so Miss Best said we could have a try.  We had to be very sensible.  It was soooo much fun!

Market Day...

On Friday we had market day at school.
Room 2 and Room 5 worked together and made play dough to sell.  It was so popular we sold out before the end of the day.  Here is Lotosina and Ahana selling the year 1 items.

Our Trip...

Yay! we finally got to go on our trip to the city.  It was raining but we were all prepared.  We wore our posh raincoats, gumboots and sneakers!

First, we walked to the train station in Old Papatoetoe from school.  Next, we jumped on the train and travelled all the way to the Britomart train station in the city.  Then we had a little snack.  Last, we walked carefully across the busy city road to the ferry terminal.  We caught the ferry across to Davenport.  We had so much fun playing on the playground there.  On the way home we took the bus.  It drove across the harbour bridge but it was too cloudy, we couldn't see the city.  It was a great day!


Here we are on the train!

The train is so much fun!

Just relaxing.

We were so excited we couldn't stop talking.

The train is going very fast.

Hold on tight!

This is great fun.

You have kept nice and dry!

I can't wait to go through the tunnel.

Here we are at the Ferry Terminal.


The view from the ferry.

We got to sit upstairs on the Ferry.


We can see so much from up here.

Here is the park at Davenport!


Waiting for the bus.
