Mysterious squeals, shouts, laughter and chatter were heard coming out of Tomarata School on the evening of February 24. There was also the distinct smell of smoke and a lot of loud splashing. Our junior correspondents, Cole Costello and Willow Mitchell, sent in this report of what was going on:
“There were loads of families at the Tomarata School Whanau Fun night on Thursday the 24th of February. All the teachers were there and Mrs Neels put some time out of her busy day to come to the whanau fun night. We had a pizza oven and a barbeque the families could use. Games were provided by Patricia Green from Harbour Sport. We did it under the beautiful magnolia tree in the Tomarata school grounds and we were swimming in the school pool.
“We had many games and delicious food. The pool was very refreshing, everyone enjoyed it. The tug of war was really challenging and a lot of people were getting dragged on the ground. We had hot wood fired pizza, nice chilling juices and ripe plums. We also sold plums and chutney made by our school. Lucky people won quick fire
raffles too.
“It was cool how Mrs Neels organised it so all the families came together. Whanau Fun Night was really fun for all families to start the year.”
