Lunchtimes at Awapuni School

We love lunchtimes! Take this tour of our playground at lunchtime to see the neat things we do.

Learning to Snorkel

Last week we learnt how to use a snorkel and mask with Joe Palmer. We are going to Te Tapuwae o Rongokako Marine Reserve next week. We will snorkel in the rock pools at low tide and look at the marine life there. Joe also told us why the marine reserve has its name...it means the footstep of Rongokako.
Room 2 students have written a post on their own blogs about snorkeling...read about them there.

About Our Place

Room 2 students have published a post on their blogs about the tourist attractions in Gisborne. Most of them have a photo inserted into their post as well. The photos are from Mrs McManus - she works at Awapuni School and is a keen photographer. Thanks Mrs McManus!
Mrs Torrie grew up in Tolaga Bay so her favourite spot is the Tolaga Bay Wharf. It's the longest wharf (pier) in the southern hemisphere being 660m long. It is a great place to fish, collect mussels. But the favourite thing to do is to jump off the wharf and climb up the ladder to do it again and again!
