We're getting excited about Curiosity Monday ....

Curiosity Monday was a huge hit on our first day back this term. There was a real buzz across Whānau Pohutukawa and Whānau Waitangi. We were very lucky to have Scott from Te Papa bring in a selection of Birds and eggs and a very large bone.

Have a chat at home about what's making you curious.

Happy Friday Whānau
