Every second Tuesday the year 7/8s go to Manual. On these days, the Year 5/6s think up and act on ways that they can engage with the community. We decided to give back to the community by visiting the elderly at Park Street Day Care. We painted pots and planted them with marigold and dahlias. We made scones and pikelets, and packaged everything up for the visit.
We had a lovely visit, meeting lots of wonderful people. We gave our new friends the plants, sang songs, performed some kapa haka songs, played some board and card games and then we were all treated to the scones and pikelets with jam and whipped cream!
It was a really special afternoon and we will try to get back there to visit again. We are hoping that our new friends might come and join us on Pet Day next term.
Students’ writing will follow.
