"O" is for Awesome and Oueroa

We KNOW awesome doesn't start with "O" - but Oueroa does - and it is awesome.

Mary and Peter, the Storytellers, Visit Porangahau

On Wednesday Oueroa  School went to Porangahau School to see Mary Kippenberger. We had lunch, went for a play and went for a swim. When we first got in it was cold but you got warm.
It was time to see Mary Kippenberger.
The first play was Cinderella. I was the Ugly sister. I had to put on a long, browny coloured wig and a skirt with a hoop in it.People laughed their heads off.
The second play was funny because the elephants said "We don't know, you have to ask the toikey." in a very funny way.
It was so hot. Mangaorapa came too.Just to let you know, it was a long day but it was fun.


Now there's some very Ugly Sisters.

Mrs Hales was the Fairy Godmother.

The Fairy Godmother grants Cinderella's wish.

Mary did magic while she told the story.

Wallis makes a great chicken.

Nikayla was THE turkey, Isy the long lost hippy, and Shaquira the giraffe.
