Rooms 6 and 12 celebrated the first ever Matariki Public Holiday by having a sleepover in the school library. We shared dinner together, went on a blind bush trial walk through some of the school bush area, played spotlight (Miss Mercer and Miss Feaunati defiantly need special mention, they had the best hiding spots and were so committed to not being found), spent some time reflecting on our year, watched a movie and finally went to sleep. The teachers didn’t get much sleep because we woke up so early, but unfortunately it was cloudy so we couldn’t see Puanga, even though we tried. After breakfast and clean up we were off to spend the rest of the day with our whanau.
