If you go down to the school today, you'd better go in disguise
For every bear that ever there was will gather there for certain
Because today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic..."
On Friday the 12th of August Rongo-mā-tāne earned their marble jar reward and we chose to have a teddy bear picnic. Whānau were invited to come and share in the fun and the children were encouraged to bring their teddy bears and also a wee treat in their lunchbox.
There was lots of excited chatter as the children shared their teddy bears with each other. We ate on the turf and then had a play on our playground, Hikihiki.
