Swimming

Te Waharua Fun Swim

On Wednesday Te Waharua went to Waikanae Pools for a fun swim. It was turned out to be a beautiful day! Thank you to all the parents and caregivers for their help!

Check out some of the fun we had...

Sports

Kiwi Sports

This term the whole Te Waharua are taking part in Kiwi Sports every Thursday. We started last week. Our first lesson was all about balance. We played lots of games to practice our balancing, and we had heaps of fun while we did it.

Therese's Goat

Nomad Comes to School

Last week Therese brought her pet goat for news. Nomad was a wonderful, friendly and well behaved visitor to room 2. It was great to be able to pat and learn a bit about Nomad. Therese told us that he is 5 months old, he likes to eat flowers, weeds and dandelions. He even tries to go inside the house sometimes!! Thank you to Therese and her mum for bring Nomad into Room 2, we loved it!!

Back to School 2015

Whale Waikanae Beach

Whale on Waikanae Beach

Yesterday Room 2 and 21 were lucky enough to be able to go and see the dead hump back whale. The whale had washed up onto the beach just down from the boating club. The Doc man at the beach told us that the whale was about 10-15 years old, a female hump back, and that she weighed about 30 tonne!! It was an interesting sight to see but also very sad!

Goodman's Trip

Goodmans Trip

Yesterday Room 2 and 21 went to Te Roto Drive Goodman's site to see the big machinery in action. This site is part of the working area where the new express highway is being built. It was really interesting to see all the machines in action! We really enjoyed climbing into the stationary machines at the end of the tour. We really got to see and feel what it would be like to work in a place like that. A huge thank you to all our tour guides and parent helpers! We loved it!!
