<\/span>Before we visited Rehua Marae on Thursday, some of our children were treated to amazing Marae presentations that had been created by the Year 3 and 4 children in Kowhai hub.<\/span>
The children used all sorts of resources and media to teach our children about what to expect when we visited the marae. <\/span>

We had a fabulous trip to the Marae on Thursday.  A great big thank you to all the parents who came along and enjoyed the experience too.  The children were great ambassadors for Beckenham School.<\/span>
Have a look at some of the photos we took over the day.<\/span>

The challenge was to make a tent out of just tarpaulins and large blocks that could withstand a heavy downpour. The children were excited when it started to drizzle so they could test out it's waterproofing!<\/span><\/div>
