Daffodil day

Tomarata School participated in Daffodil Day again this year. The senior students drew a daffodil and the students were invited to place their coin in it to raise money for the Cancer Society. It was well supported as usual.

Touch Netball Tournament

Great weather, enthusiastic participators, fair play, good sports and helpful refs made our sports day a big success. Well done Tomarata teams. It was a great opportunity for our boys to get to play netball. They showed great skills.

Phone a friend

Room 5 feedback from the NZ Playhouse presentation "Phone a friend" was all positive. We loved the huge phone and doing the dance. We agreed that the parents were OTT but they meant well. We learnt to use our mobile phones properly and not to be mean with them. It was a great show.
