Timmy the Train

We are learning about significant places around Kawakawa. Room 8, 12 and 13 caught the train from Kawakawa Station to Taumarere Station. Our train conductor told us some historic facts. 

- Kawakawa town used to be next to Taumarere Station.
- Kawakawa Primary School began at Taumarere.
- There used to be a port at Derrick Landing.
- There was a race track at Taumarere.
- Timmy the train came from England.
- People from overseas like Timmy the train because he runs on coal.

    Thankyou room 8 for the information about "Timmy the train". I didn't know these facts, I only knew about Gabriel. Wow Timmy came from England, thats a long trip from the other side of the world. What transportation do you think he took to get here? Where does coal come from? Who has cycled the train track? Kyla and her Poppa rode the track from Opua to Taumarere and back. And once we rode down there and went rock fishing, Kylas brother Flynn caught a snapper.

    Hi there, my name is Colenso and I am a student in Room 3 at Tautoro School. I really like your photo of your little shed that looked like art. Which did you like the best? Blog you later.

    Luton Meet And Greet is the best and most reliable parking service at the airport.
