Victorian Christmas - Shantytown

Ruma Kererū gathered booster seats, school bags, lunch boxes and with the help of parents and grandparents travelled to Shantytown today.  Once we had our safety briefing we all got changed into what the tamariki called "olden days clothes".  We got to make a Christmas card and we even decorated an orange that had a candle on the top.  We then walked over to the church and sang silent night.  We were really lucky to be able to be part of a Christmas play.  There was a grumpy king played by Lui.  Reid was Joseph, Iris was Mary and Cassidy was an awesome donkey.  There were three wise men and even an angel.  Tamariki had sack races, tug of war and egg and spoon races. Whaea Lisa and Katrina even joined in with the sack race.............. Enjoy the photos below.  I was extremely proud of Kererū as we were pursuing our personal best, treating others the way we would like to have been treated. Some tamariki stepped well out of their comfort zone on a day that delivered long-awaited sunshine.  Thank you to everyone who helped to make our trip a success.  Without your continued support, we wouldn't be able to have the experiences out in our wonderful community.
