We went to the Suter Art Gallery to see some beautiful drawings by Don Binney.

Maddie's Birthday Fund Raiser

Maddie had her 9th birthday on Sunday. She decided that she would host a fund raiser for the people of Haiti so instead of gifts, Maddie's friends each donated money. Maddie raised $184.20 which she has already given to Emily for the Kenbe La Foundation, Source of Hope School Appeal.

Weekends

What do room 5 children get up to on the last night of October? Well now, some of them come to visit Viv to see if she has any treats. Nile Street was bustling with children dressed in all sorts of interesting clothes. One group performed a wonderful "trick" by singing a waiata. Hope they all enjoyed the treats. The adults definitely enjoyed the visits.
