We went for a walk on Takarunga to look for signs of long ago Maori habitation. We found a kumara pit and some pieces of shell from an old midden. We looked to see where people could fish and grow kumara. We walked along the pathways made by people in the past.

During August we rode a bus to the North Harbour Gymnastics Centre. We tried many activities - trampoline, beam, mat, bars, hula hoops and ribbons. It was very challenging and we gave everything a go!

On Tuesday 12 October, there was a big surprise waiting for us in the School Hall! John and Chewy from Rhythm Interactive had set up a djembe drum for everyone to use - even the teachers. We had fun beating our drums as you can see.
