ANZAC Ceremony

We had a very special remembrance service yesterday at school to remember our servicemen and women who died in WW1 and later wars.

What an experience for everyone involved.

ANZAC Biscuits

This week we are learning about the significance of remembering the ANZACs.  We have listened to stories, watched videos, created artworks and today we made ANZAC biscuits.  Yum!  The biscuits we make today are much sweeter and chewier than the ones sent by loved ones to the soldiers 100 years ago.

Here we are making these yummy treats.

Takapuwahia Marae Visit

Takapuwahia Marae Visit on PhotoPeach

Today all of the Year 1-4 students at Discovery School participated in a special visit to Takapuwahia Marae in Elsdon, Porirua.  We participated in a powhiri welcome onto this beautiful local marae.

We were so so lucky to have students from Aotea College teach us many new games, how to use rakau and patu.  We listened to Maori legends and even acted out some too.

Big big thanks to all the amazing mums and dads who came along with us.

What a lucky bunch of kiwi kids we are!
