We sung our school song to welcome our visitors.
It happened to be be Pink Shirt Day, Anti-bullying Day, so lots of the students were wearing pink.
Some of the students from Kererū 2 read out their descriptive earthquake poems which vividly captured many of the sights, sounds and feelings they experienced on February 22.
Finally, Ruru 2 performed the rap they had written to help them come to terms with the devastating effects of the February 22 earthquake. They are a bilingual class, so had studied the story of Ruaumoko, god of earthquakes. Their teacher had lost his house and all his possessions, so had to temporarily move north, and they were awaiting his return, while in the meantime the Deputy Principal taught their class.
