Did you know that there are lots of shags nesting around the mount?

What makes the Mount so special?

We went to a road safety lesson outside by the school driveway. We had cars and scooters to drive and pedestrian crossings to practise on. Did you know that pedestrian crossings are sometimes called zebra crossings? We learnt more about road safety and it was really good fun.

On Friday we all walked around Mauao because we are studying about Walking and Exploring places in our neighbourhood. We went to the Mount because it is an important place to us. Some Mums, Grandmas and Dads came too. We saw three shags' nests, Matakana Island, some boats, the statue who guards the harbour, the buoys that tell the ships the safe place to pass, we saw a man diving at Pilot Bay and lots of other interesting things.

It was cool fun.

We are going to learn about the legend of Mauao this week.

Does anyone know the legend?
