Nothing’s stopping this wee chap getting a medal on Sports Day

We don’t have any swings or slides, climbing frames or sand pits; Olng’arua School doesn’t have any outdoor play equipment….  or does it? The children seem to find plenty in the natural environment around the school to climb on, swing from, dig in and slide down.

The netting provides just enough shade and its much more fun than being stuck inside.

Nothing beats a juicy mango after lunch

Oranges at lunchtime are eagerly awaited.
