River Schools' pet day at Pipiriki

Ducklings, birds, goldfish, cats, kittens, dogs, puppies and lambs were the centre of attention at the Wanganui River Schools Pet Day on Tuesday. There was a hangi, morning tea, raffles and beautiful arts and crafts prepared by the children. The pet day was very successful with most children bringing their favourite pets along. The day was based at the Pipiriki Primary School with a very friendly' atmosphere. Four schools participated in the pet day — Ranana, Porikino, Parihauhau and Pipiriki. Also the Kohanga Reo from Raetihi and Te Wainui-a-rua(the Matahiwi Landing). Pipiriki School performed a Maori welcome for the visiting schools, who in return performed a traditional karanga. After all the greetings and speeches they sang songs, and then had the pet competition. Melanie Gilmour 3rd Form, Ruapehu College
