ARL Taster Sessions!










On Friday, in Week 9, Room 24 had the awesome opportunity to take part in Rugby League drills with ARL (Auckland Rugby League). They worked with us on our basic rugby league skills like carrying the ball correctly, putting it on the ground safely, holding and passing the ball to the right place, and using space effectively to avoid defenders. We had a great time. Thanks ARL!

Garden to Table Week 9!




Room 24 had a great week at Garden to Table in Week 9. The gardening team were faced with the frosty temperature of the early morning. They all persisted through the cold and did an excellent job of mapping out paths around the garden, and covering muddy patches with mulch. While digging the mulch, Trudy taught us that the piles of mulch are very hot in the middle (up to 75 degrees Celsius!) and the heat helps kill all the germs and bacteria. The kitchen team prepared a delicious meal for us which included, bread, kawakawa butter, roasted vegetables, and Matariki star cookies for dessert! We look forward to our last week at Garden to Table!
