Supporting each other in tough times........

In 2021 Māori Language Week is to be held 13 September to 19 September (13-19 Mahuru). Māori Language Week is celebrated annually in September.

In Week 3 of Term 3, Piha Learning Area 1 had the opportunity to go to the Auckland Zoo. Our Science topic for this term is ‘How have living things adapted to their environment?’ The kind and caring zoo keepers have shared their outstanding knowledge about the animals to our tamariki. They told us about the profiles; adaptations, habitats, and diets of some of the interesting animals they look after at this wondrous place; it really helped us with our work. They had so many fun ways to entertain us including humour with interesting facts, and animal feedings. On behalf of Madison & Lily, and all of Piha LA1, we would like to thank the staff of Auckland Zoo for giving us the chance to experience this amazing place. Here are some recounts of the day by Piha students.
