[Tamaki 1 @ Sommerville Special School] Christmas 2016

Tamaki One went to Sylvia Park to visit Santa on the 8th December.  We all had such a good time and even had a ride on the Santa carousal which was really fun!

We managed to arrive just in time for the carousal ride to open.

Byron was very curious about Santa's dress.

The boys all received a book from Santa.

Kevin was very willing to stop, turn and pose for the camera.

Chi gave Santa a big high five to say 'thanks' before he took his book.

It is all action at Edgewater College.

Excitement builds as the crane lifts the first wall sections of our new learning space building off the truck and into position.

These are some of the highlights of our celebrations;

Tamaki Primary came over to perform for us.

Tamaki 1 performed a poi waiata & were awesome at swinging the poi!

The library was decorated with Maori art from classes at Tamaki & Sommerville.  We also had a 'hakari', (Celebratory luncheon) for the whanau.

TONGAN LANGUAGE WEEK

Our Tongan Community at the school graciously put on a luncheon for staff & students to share some of their culture through food and music.
