In the Pink!

This morning we had some wonderful St Paul's parents organise a Pink Ribbon Breakfast in support of breast cancer awareness.
We also did our part in Kereru Class by wearing 'a little' bit of pink.

Zen Zone!

What a glorious morning for some meditation with the sun streaming in through the windows 🌞

The students had a Basic Facts straight after and almost the entire class scored a PB! 

We are Zen Masters!

 

It is very calming and makes your mind feel that it's gone into another place.

Brook Waimarama Sanctuary

Below is a selection of photos from our fabulous trip on Friday.

On Monday students will be posting comments on what they have learnt.
We learnt most of the bird sounds in the Brook.We learnt what plants not to eat and what to eat it was really fun.
By Reuben
At the Brook we learnt lots of the trees names and where they were from. We got to eat two types of plants one was really spicy.
By Lily  
At the brook we learnt that the fence is to keep out animals like ferrets, rats and stoats because they eat the native birds.
