Our Quarry Trip

Today all of the children in Huritini visited the quarry to link in with our inquiry learning about 'Turangawaewae' and 'Kaitiakitanga'

We had a lovely walk down to the quarry, where we videoed the children chanting our 'Huritini Haka',

After that we walked down to the far end of the quarry - the children were looking for autumn changes in the quarry with their parent helpers. We then had lunch under the trees and a play. At 1 o'clock we met with the park ranger who spoke with us about looking after the quarry/ being kaitiaki and the history of the quarry.

We were so lucky with the weather and the children had a great day. A big thank you to all our parent helpers who made the day possible.
