Goodbye Hazelnut and Lunar!

Hazelnut and Lunar had a great time with us, but it was time for them to move on to the next school. Before they left, they got to meet some of the other staff at Rowandale:

With Mr Vasau

With Mrs Tofilau

They also got to see a powhiri for our new teachers. Do you know what a powhiri is?

They are now on there way to Denmark. Here is a map of everywhere they've been and the next school they're going to. Can you name all of the places they've been to so far? They have travelled quite a long way.

We wish them luck on their journey. Thanks for visiting us!

Powhiri

This morning all of the children and teachers at Rowandale School and a few grown ups went to the hall to do a Powhiri for Whaea Lois, Mrs Johnson and Mrs Tofilau. First, we stood up and did a haka while our visitors walked in and sat down on the stage. Then some people talked one at a time. After that we sang a Maori song and a Savali vali Mai.

Here are some videos of the whole thing (thank you Ryley for filming it):
