Our Champion Shuffler, Cruize!

Greats and Grans day

Kobe is special to all of us because he always says hello and gives us a big smile so we just have to love his good nature and he is a very helpful boy just like his mum and dad.  Thank you glenholme school for giving him a good start in his schooling.  Love Nana and Poppa Martin.

My Nan and Pop is special to me because they always give me a hug or a kiss, when i go to my nan house she always has something nice for me to eat and pop shows us what to do on the farm and a nice drink  of lemonade.  Love Kobe.

Che & his NanNan & Pop

We love Che to bits! He has always been loving, respectful & thoughtful of others (especially his grandparents) He is  a very special Grandson to us & we love being involved in his life.We are confident that Che will succeed in any vocation that he chooses to pursue. God bless you Che. You have our love & support always!   

Greer and Rachel (mum)

Greer, I love your hugs, helpfulness and smiles.. Mum.
Mum, I love everything you do for me. Greer.

Caitlin and her nan!

Caitlin is a very honest child with a wicked sense of humour.  She likes to be helpful around house, and also likes to help her Grandad with the mowing of the lawns.  She loves animals and has a very caring nature.  Obviously there are times when she gets a bit naughty, but she wouldn't be normal if she didn't.  She is very loving but is also very shy and sometimes holds back her feelings.  She can also be very sentimental at times, which is actually a very nice trait.  We love her to bits and will always be there for her whenever she needs us.  Caitlin, you are the best!

I love my nan because she always has something ready for us to do when we come around and how she helps us when we need her.   Me and my sister always like going around to her house and I love seeing my Grandad he always lets me help and lets me ride his lawnmower.  My nan is a great cook she always lets me and my sister bake and lick the bowl! I love my nan.

Greats and Grans

Nye is a super grandson. We have lots of fun doing things like walking in the forest, trips to the beach, going to Auckland to visit his cousins.  We so enjoyed all being together when we went up to Auckland for the semi-final of the Rugby World Cup. Nye is a very kind boy, always aware of the needs of other children.  He is polite - but also full of mischief.  He is helpful,especially in my garden when all the leaves need raking up. Nye is very much loved in our family and is a source of pride because he is...Nye. 

I love my Nan because she spoils me and takes me to Auckland and the beach and many things around Rotorua.  I also enjoy staying with Nan at weekends.  She comes to my sports.  My Nan and I also play board games on rainy days. We watch Rugby teststogether and we cheer together if Wales or New Zealand score tries. I love my Nan's baking.

Hey look there is some kids having a rest under our beautiful cherry tree outside Glenholme school.

Don't you fell like having a rest?

Wearable Arts

Yesterday on the 13th of September 2011, the Totara Team had two visitors from Te Wharekura o Ngati Rongomai.  One was Whaea Lisa's daughter, Shayla and her niece Te Puawai.  They were here to show the wearable arts that they had designed for the Wearable Arts Competition.  Shayla on the right came 3rd in the Youth Section.

We were really fortunate that they came to show our team how to make a great piece of art that you can wear.  Thanks girls
