First day back after earth quake!

It was great to see everyone back at school today. There were a big group of parents who come in for a cup of coffee and biscuits and it was great to catch up with some of our Riccarton community. The children quickly settled down to learning and all classes have reported an excellent day. There were lots of smiles as children were leaving the ground which is a great sign. Caleb and Emma came in at lunch time and made some pop corn using a pop corn maker from a movie theatre. We also had a large game of tee ball on the front field.
The children were excellent at bringing their boiled bottled water. I can't wait for tomorrow and to see the school get back into full swing again.
