    Wow Room 8 it looks like you had a great visit up to Ruapekapeka. I liked reading about what you liked up there and seeing your photos. Room 6 had a great visit up there also and learnt lots of interesting things about the history of Ruapekapeka.

      My name is Mahina and I go to Kawakawa Primary School. The pole is called a pou. I liked the pou because it was big and long. Thank you for making a comment.
