Labels: Our year 6s were lucky enough to be sponsored by AWE to have a week of surf safety and surfing lessons. We had fun in the pool and lots of fun in the wild surf of Oakura Beach.

Labels: Tidy kiwis. Every year our whole school walks along our beach picking up all the rubbish. Then we can relax and have a fun day down at the river.
