Wakaaranga Primary School

Congratulations to our students who attended a delicious pizza and donut lunch with the principal yesterday. They have shown our school values throughout the term and should be super proud.

Using the butter they made by hand during their visit to the Howick Historical Village last week, they baked a batch of delicious scones. Of course, the highlight of the day was tasting their freshly baked scones with jam and cream! Thanks FCI for hosting us!
