The playground upgrade!

An interview with Mr Gilbert

Have you heard that we are getting new playground equipment at Papatoetoe East? The money from the gala will be used to fund it.

Mr Gilbert is not sure if we will upgrade the whole playground or just parts of it. Did you know that the senior playground hasn't been upgraded for over ten years? Can you believe it?

Mr Gilbert doesn't know how much money each structure will cost until the playground people come and take a look. He's hoping that the upgrade will be finished by the end of this year.

Mr Gilbert wanted something that all the students could get value from not just some of the students, that is why he chose the playground project.

The upgrading will start by the end of this term.We might even have a competition to design our new playground.

North Island Flood Alert

Kiwi Kids News

 

 

Alert!

 

 There was a terrible flooding that affected the North Island at night. The cause of this problem was the heavy rain that was there a few weeks ago. Emergency evacuation centres had to be set up at the Coromandel (because it was really bad). Water waste and water supplies have been affected. They are trying to save water by not flushing toilets (if they can't help it) in Tairua, Pauanui, Onemana and Whangamata.
