Final Stop

Well we are the pool for our final stop!  Lots of smiles and hydrosliding.  There have been many first and lots of children accomplishing challenges that they have overcome.  Great work Ruma Tui!  Big thanks to all our parent helpers!! What a great experience you have helped Ruma Tui have!

Day 1 Done

After an evening of pillow fights, fan football and of course spotlight around Shantytown it has gone quiet. We have a bunch of worn out children as most are asleep already.  Fastest class ever to get to sleep!

Sustainability at Shantytown

We have been working on Sustainability this afternoon.  We have been making cleaning products and hammering nails to straighten them.  We have also been washing windows.

Finished at On aye Bike, only a few wet bottoms!  Great time had by all.  Heading to Shantytown now.

New Apple Trees

Michael planting

We were very luck to receive 2 heritage fruit trees on Friday from Food Resilience Network in Christchurch. The varieties that we got are suitable to the high rainfall that we get on the West Coast.  Thanks again to Tessa and Micheal for delivering these to us and helping us with the planting.  We are really looking forward to looking after them and watching them grow.

If anyone in our community have any old heritage fruit trees growing on the farm or on property around the Hokitika area we would love to know about them as further on in the project we are going to learn how to graft trees.

Olivia, Lucy and Rhys planting.

Feeling proud of our new trees.

Staking the trees.
