How lucky are these children?! They have NO IDEA!
The WHOLE school spent the day at the BEACH today!
There were sandcastle competitions between ‘Whanau’ groups, boogie boarding (classes taking it in turns to avoid total mayhem in the surf!) & picnics with obligatory sand in sandwiches.
We all had a blast!
Little Alice got right in with the action too (despite having a fever this week and sporting some suspicious spots this evening… there was a girl with spots at the indoor play-space we visited on Saturday, standing right next to Alice in the ball pool…!).
Dan even met up with us and took us for ice-creams after the beach action (he’s not well either – working from home – but at least he got some fresh sea air, sunshine & saw his girls).
LOVE the BEACH, LOVE that the girls school is so game on to take the WHOLE school to the beach. And LOVE that even though we are officially in ‘Autumn’ (gah!) we truly felt like Summer was still very much in the air today!

O for Awesome! The whole school, that is so cool. And one out of the box with the weather – someone forgot to tell the weatherman it’s meant to be autumn – shh let’s keep it that way!

What a super outing for the school!!…just looks fantastic and indeed a treat….just hard to imagine it happenning here with our health and safety rules for school trips.Just super photos.
We’ve booked a beach holiday for the summer as I realised I hadn’t spent time on one for such a long time. I was born at the coast and just love the feeling I get at the seaside.
Great montage of photos x
Lucky, lucky you. I can’t wait for our weather to pick up here so we can get back on the beach again
How jealous am I that is amazing I love the beach so much xx
That looks like so much fun, what a wonderful day. Don’t suppose you caught a glimpse of the Orca and calfs round at Oriental?
Nothing better than salt air!
Wow, I’m so jealous! I’d love to live near a beach and can’t imagine how much I would have loved school if we spent a whole day there! x
