A busy and exciting term

The term started with a camp at Rotorua. Some of the things we did were: abseiling, rock climbing, going on the luge, careering down the Big Splash, orienteering, Burma trail, glow worm spotting and lots of hot swims.

Other highlights included designing bird feeders, making lanterns, lots of sport - including basketball and some of us patted a kiwi.

The term ended with watching our stars and planets inside the cosmodome. 

A highlight of Term 1 has been learning to skate. All 18 children have learnt to skate independently with many children able to jump, crouch and go backwards. Way to go kids!

Pet Day is an eagerly awaited day on our school calendar. This year it is on Friday 28 September from 11am. You can see and pat lambs and calves and view the children's flower show and craft exhibits. This day is a celebration of our rural community and unique school culture.

Mokoia School is where rural education is at its best.
