COLOURING UP WESTPAC!

 Team Tahi and Waru were fortunate enough to be asked to colour up Westpac. We coloured in our pictures very very carefully and these were on display at Westpac during May.  Michelle, who organised all of this, came into school and every child got a packet of Westpac jaffas and two from each class received a prize.  I hope we get to do it again next year!

Michelle is awesome at organising Team Tahi and Waru to colour up the branch in Hastings!

And then she brings in prizes!   Yippee!

After we sant our song twice for our whanau we planted some leeks and spring onions.  Some were seedlings, some were seeds.  We we will watch them grow in the next 3 weeks.  Then we can share these on a salad - yummy!
