Kia ora bloggers, It’s week 8 and this is our first class post of 2024. We are room 6 and we are from Hay Park School. We are a class of year 4, 5 and 6 students. Our school is in Mt Roskill, Auckland. There are 29 students in our class and about 160 students in our school.
Our local maunga (mountain) is Puketāpapa / Mt Roskill. Puketāpapa was a fortified pa under Māori occupation from at least the 13th or 14th century but was no longer intensively occupied when European settlers moved into the area in the mid-1800s. In 1841 Ngāti Whātua (local iwi) exchanged 13,000 acres, which included Puketāpapa, with the Crown.
Please comment and tell us about your school.
Thanks
