Delivering the books to Mangere East School.

On the last day of term 2, Mr B loaded up his truck and I (Miss Rae) went with him and 2 students from Room 13, to deliver the books to Mangere East. First stop was the gas station where Mr B shouted us a hot drink!




Then we started the long drive over the Harbour Bridge to Mangere East School. The cameras were used as backseat entertainment!



When we got to Mangere East Primary the first thing we noticed was that new prefab classrooms were being delivered so that they would be ready to use next time. As we drove up the driveway we noticed a climbing wall! Later we found out that they were having a fundraising fair the next day and that is what the climbing wall was for.




We went into the office to tell the school we had arrived. After we were welcomed we were taken to a classroom. We had to walk through the hall. Many classes were using the hall as a classroom and used different corners of the hall as their learning space. We went into a classroom and were given seats at the front of the classroom. There were lots of speeches thanking us and they presented us with cards, they even sung as a song! We felt very special.












After that we went on a tour of the school. We saw the big empty concrete pad where classrooms used to be. Bigger children interviewed us. We unloaded Mr B's truck.






It was awesome to see how excited all the children and teachers were! I felt so happy and pleased, and very proud off the hard work Room 13 had done.

It was time to head back to school. We played I spy and we laughed and laughed.













I wished all of Room 13 had come but it wasn't possible. They did such a great thing for others.
