Buddy Writing with Te Maunga Class

Te Maunga students came to help us publish our Christmas Parade stories on their chrome books.

Paihia Christmas Parade

This year the theme for our parade float was the twelve days of Christmas Paihia style.
Te Awa was on the truck. Our costume was to look like we were at the beach "and a sandcastle on a summers day".
