On Wednesday our teacher told us about the school we are joining to do Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu – it is where you write comments on other student blogs from schools around the motu. So were checked out where and who the schools are we are blog commenting with.
The schools are Paroa in Greymouth, first, we thought they were in Whakatane then found them in Hokitika, on the West Coast of Te Waipounamu. Glen Innes is our other buddy school, they were easier to find and are in Auckland at first we thought they were a long way from our school (as they were the first school we looked for, after locating our school on the map) until we searched for Paora School. Edmund Hillary School (our school) is the red marker.
Kia ora room9, My name is Finau and I’m in room 6 at Glen Innes School. We used google earth and google maps to explore each of the school grounds. We were wondering if you had a bike track because we have discovered some squiggly lines on your field. We noticed Paroa School has a beach close by and wondered if they go swimming there.
Thanks for sharing from Finau.
Malo e lelei Finau,
Yes, we have a bike track around our field and gardens everywhere, with a heap of fruit trees. We also have 2 busy main roads that trucks use right outside our door. What makes your school special?
