Giant Walk

Today, Rooms 5 and 9 walked with the rest of Sunnyhills School to Snakes and Ladders Park which is beside the Tamaki River, on the Rotary Walkway.  This was one the activities as part of our Travelwise Walk to School Week. We did this to help encourage more people to walk instead of drive their car.  This helps to reduce the number of cars on our road which results in safer roads for children - and also decrease climate change.

Our buddies are five-six year old and new to Sunnyhills.  Some are crazy, some like to sing and others are chatterboxes.   Here's what we found out about our buddies while walking with them:

• Energetic and amazing - Josh
• Loves to dance and he's from the Philippines - James
• Likes to run away from me and I had to catch up with her - Mandy 
• Likes to talk and laughs a lot - Stella
• Is really funny and enthusiastic - Max Ma
• Doesn't talk much - Grace
• Is very quiet - Jerry
