Pirate Week In Hub 1 Sandpit

Rebecca Pilbrough —

From reflections and interest shown from the children last week, our Whakamata Stations were based on pirates.

There was a yo ho ho ringing out from the children this week.

Our week ended with a mufti day where we had the opportunity to dress as a pirate. When we visited the Library, we found a section all about pirates! The children were excited about this and wanted to revisit the Library as soon as possible!!
