Ngataki Pa

What a cool trip this was! We all couldn’t get over how high Ngataki Pa was. You could see North Cape, the entrance to Houhora and if the pines weren’t there you would see Utea on 90 mile beach. The kids thoroughly enjoyed thinking about Mokohorea and what it would have been like in the past. If you have any stories around this please share with your kids.

Utea Pa visit

We had a great day on our field trip to Utea (Signaling Pa) It was so high and you could see all the way down the beach. It is a really good spot  to see people approaching in the distance. Our Tamariki had so much fun running wild in the low wind swept manuka. They climbed and hid and ran and ran. Kids were also shocked at how much rubbish we collected on 90mile in 3min!!!! Very sad to see. We will plan to go back and do another clean up as Kaitiaki of the Far North. A BIG thank you to Yvonne and Betsy for supporting us on the day, we really appreciate the time you give and enjoy listening to your korero.
