Last week tamariki from Te Puawaitanga o te Kakano went on we trip to Harcourt Park with a focus on building and strengthening the relationships across the three classrooms. Below is writing from Ahurei and Jodecy about their experiences.

Last Thursday Te Puawaitanga o te Kakano went on a fabulous trip to Harcourt Park.

First, we went on a great walk in the creaking bushes. We saw huge amounts of fungi and a smelly, stinky sandal! Also, we found a humongous leaf that was way bigger than my hand. Next, we went to an enormous park with a loooooong stretched flying fox. I liked it but suddenly I fell off by accident, whoa! Then we walked stubbornly to the giant swing, it could definitely fit nine people on it, so when we went on it, it was magnificent. We finished playing in the marvelous park but I did not want to go! Then, we got into our swimming togs, so I went in the fabulous splash pad first. I ate about five fabulous sausages then I played joyfully with my friends. We played an astounding game that one of them thought of, so we played it until time was up! So, we got out joyfully of the teensy, weensy shallow pool. We got changed quickly and played on the little playground for a little bit, then the bus arrived. I talked to my friends while we walked to the bus!

We went to Harcourt Park. We went on the bus. Everyone went to the bush walk. We looked for something soft. Then I ate some food. I ate crackers. I played on the swing. I ate popcorn for lunch. I ate some sausages and I watched them.
