Friday 16 March we were privileged to go and watch the ASB Polyfest 2018. This was a first time for some of our tamariki and they were very excited to experience culture at its best.
We started our day taking the roll and heading to the hall. Once there we had house keeping of the rules and regulations of our trip. Our uniform was very good looking as our children looked very tidy and were ready to represent.
We caught our bus and arrived at the manukau velodrome. We placed our gears safely by the Police stand and set up our area. Another lot of expectations was given before we set off with our Guides/ our teachers and parent Mrs Polly Paese.
The group I had were mostly boys who wanted to go everywhere, and yes we went nearly everywhere. We tried to take photos at all the stages we visited but some areas it was very full. We stayed in the culture areas for up to 15-20mins then we ventured out. We came back to our base to eat, and then we went back out.
We then realised our time was due to come back to base for our meet up to the bus. Oh what a day we've had. I would totally do that again.
We came back to school very exhausted and ready to go home. Thank you Mrs Polly Paese for the care and support you served with our children today. We hope they did not stress you out too much.
Alofatele lava oe Mrs Polly Paese.
We hope you enjoy our photos.
