Busy bodies in the garden<br />
Over the past few months an enthusiastic group of Sumner School pupils have been developing<br />
their school garden. The pupils have been planting seeds of herbs, vegetables and annuals for<br />
early spring planting that they will be able to sell to parents to continue to fund their garden. They<br />
have been very fortunate to receive fruit tree donations from Shane Lawton from SBJ Ltd and<br />
donations from Mitre 10 Mega Ferrymead of some children’s gloves, trowels, a garden hose and a<br />
soaker hose.<br />

Scavenger hunt<br />
and Maori culture<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> School’s year 4 and 5 pupils went on an<br />
adventure to Onuku Marae in Akaroa, with a fun scavenger<br />
hunt on the way. Pupils had to open envelopes which told them<br />
where to go and what to do at the different stops. When they<br />
reached Akaroa, they stopped to have lunch and played games<br />
before carrying on to the marae. Many of the pupils had not<br />
been to a marae before. They were welcomed with a powhiri,<br />
and later played traditional Maori games. The pupils also got to<br />
learn how to weave flax, learned about Maori culture, and were<br />
later farewelled with a poroporoaki.<br />
