The children in Otawhito and Otumatua had the pleasure of listening to Emma Twigg talk to us today about her successes in rowing. Alongside this, we learned about her 'Long Way Home' fundraiser that she and two other New Zealand Olympians have set up. They will travel over 18,000km from Switzerland to New Zealand on a bike, to raise money for young sports women to pursue their dreams. It was awesome to hear about her experiences and get some inspirational advice on giving things a go and trying your best!

Yesterday we were very lucky to have Neil Shaskey come to our learning studio and take us for an art workshop. We learned all about cartooning and shading for effect. The children did a fantastic job!
