Governor General Anand Satyanand Visits Nayland

Today the Governor General visited our school. In the picture is the Governor General Anand Satyanand and his wife.
The Maori Culture Group can be very proud of the way that they gave such a warm welcome to our visitors.
The haka was done with mana and our waiata was tino pai. Cole was spotted in the group too for giving a tu meke performance!
Kei te pai to Sol and Meihana who spoke so well too with their whaikorero. The Governors wife said that they spoke with excellent pronunciation!!!!!!!
The practice paid off and everyone can be proud for their effort!!!

How To Prepare For a Tsunami

Learn about the tsunami risk in your area.
Plan an evacuation route from your home, school or work to higher ground.
Prepare a 'Disaster Supplies Kit', containing water, food, first aid, equipment, tools, clothes and blankets.
Listen to radio and television programmes that broadcast tsunami warnings.
Follow directions given by officials such as police and fire officers.
Stay away until you are told it is safe to return home.

What evacuation procedures would you put in place for your community?

This group was well organised though. they were the first to get to school and start making their pancakes and smoothies for breakfast. This was another group that had an interesting smothie drink.
