Room 18's Wonderful Visitors

 Last Tuesday Room 18 had some wonderful visitors. We loved hearing them share their stories and showing us their family treasures.

Here are some of the things we saw-

Aimee's Dad brought along one of the original warriors test jerseys. It had a special number on it which meant that not many of them were made . Tu Kaha thought it was really cool.                       By TuKaha

Tu Kaha's  Grandma brought along some photos and a map to show where his Grandma's family came from and also where his Maori iwi  came from.  He has the same second name as his Great Grand fatherWiremu.                                                                                                                                                            By  Lola      

   Devon's Grandma brought   a  picture that she has had on her bedroom wall since she was a little girl. It is of a little boy prayig to god. Devon's Mum has one on her bedroom wall just the same.                                                                                                                                                                                       By  Ryan

Ryan's Grandad brought along an old miner's lamp and also a modern one that he wears up in the attic to see what is up there.We all really liked the plane he had to make the wood all smooth and go around corners like when you are making toilet seats. By Callum
