Kapa Haka group

Ka mau te wehi!

GSNS walked into the hall and sat down excited-ly until the amazing extra large Kapa Haka group began
We sat there staring at the stage watching their magnificent performance
We felt inspired and awed by them.
Well done we are proud of you! and Good luck for Polyfest!

The giant's toothpaste

Mrs Forwood became a scientist creating a rather explosive pink creation! 

This made a very interesting motivation for writing!

 She left the recipe behind so if you'd like to try this for yourself
