Diggers

Today we went to see the diggers

We had to be very mindful of all the big machinery and walk safely to see the big diggers.

Wow! check out all the noise ...

We love those big diggers.

Chug-a, chug-a, chug-a.

Dawson street.

Roll, roll, roll along.

Scoop and dig.

Off we go . . .

Turangawaewae 2014. Our First Day

Our first day back for the new year. We are taking a school walk to check out some of our special places.

Wow!  Take a look at room 13 gigantic pumpkin. Now that's a pumpkin...what do you think?

 

That old Redwood still looking rather majestic .

The pool is looking rather inviting right now.

              The Kitchen Garden is really flourishing. What a visual symphony of edible goodies.

All pōwhiri follow a basic process with 

some variations according to the occasion.
