Tahunanui Beach Trip

Yesterday Rooms 1, 2, 21 and 22, better known as Tamanui te Ra syndicate, went out on their beginning of the year trip to Tahunaui Beach. It was a fantastic hot day, so jamming into the bus was not pleasant! But once we arrived the fun began!! The morning was spent on the playground and sports fields, were new friendships were made. After refueling on a sausage (or two) we headed down to the beach. The water was refreshing as the scorching hot sun was blazing at this time of day. Sand castles and cricket was the action on the sand. Then it was time to pack up and head back to school. Thank you all for a fantastic day, and thanks to the parents would made it down.

What was the best thing you did in the holidays?
The best thing I did in the holidays was going biking over the Tantragee Saddle with my new mountain bike. It was hard work biking up the hill!! But it was worth the climb, because afterwards I zoomed down the hill as fast as a speeding bullet!! Lots of fun!!
