Discovery Time

Still one of our favourite times of the week, Discovery Time means we get to make friends with people across the syndicate. It is always wonderful to have extra people helping and to see everyone working together. This weeks theme was 'Buddies' and activities ranged from treasure hunts to friendship bracelets.

Whaea Gabrielle is back

Whaea Gabriell was back in Tui helping us to learn our pepeha and waiata. We are getting ready for our Marae trip in a couple of weeks. Learning how to pronounce words correctly is very important and we are grateful that Gabrielle can come in to support us in our learning.
