Akomanga Wha - laying of the Mauri Stones for the new dental clinic

The Mauri stones were laid at the end of Term 3 ready to bless the foundations of the new community dental clinic that is going to be built at Nayland Primary School. Hannah and Kayla helped to turn the turf and Manu and Puna laid the stones. Members of Akomanga Wha and the maori Culture Group came to school early and helped Uncle Tahi to sing a waiata. Tu meke!!

Mask Parade - 2010

Kei te pai Mr Power for all the awesome work you put into this years Mask Parade - Most Interesting Interpretation Award.

Raising Money for the Red Cross

On the last week of school Tunisia and Hannah M wrote a letter to Mrs Gulbransen asking if they could have a mufti day at school. The money was to raise awareness about the people of Christchurch who had just experienced the terrible earthquake recently. The girls raised over $400.00 towards the Red Cross funds. Well done girls for thinking of others and for running the coin trail at school.

What have we been up to lately?

Home School Partnership Evening - Celebrating our achievements and E Learning.
What a wonderful and busy day. After school we had a Maori Culture practice from 3 - 5 and then we shared our Red Square performance.
After that some tamariki stayed on for the Home School Partnership evening. While the children had tea cooked by Mr Power some children were involved in sharing their achievements with the Maori Community.

• Lauren gave an amazing performance of her speech.
• Manu and Frano shared what they had been doing with Nayland kindy.
