A1 and A3's Gardens

A1 and A3 have entered the Tui School Garden Challenge.  Over the next 3 months we will be planning and planting a new garden.   On Friday we raised $20 by selling the silverbeet and cabbage to the teachers to buy more plants.  Today we cleared our gardens ready to get planting later in the week.  Watch this space to see how our gardens grow.

Welcome to Papatoetoe East

There are 2 new children in our class -  Soane and Deztyn.  Detzyn likes to sit on the mat and make roads and houses with the blocks.  Soane has fun playing in the sandpit and playing games on the computers.  Welcome to our school!

Look At Our Sandpit

Our wonderful new sandpit has been opened and the children in A and B Block are spending time happily playing in it.  At the moment we are digging for dinosaur fossiles.  A special thanks to the Friends of the School (FOT's) who fundraised to pay for it and to Dave Bedwell (Elyshia's dad) who spent hours building it.  In A1 we love it!
