The mighty Tōtara tree stands tall and proud. It protects those smaller than itself. In ancient times it was used to build waka that carried hundreds of warriors and build whare to protect people from the earths elements.
As the team gifted with the name tōtara, we take on much of it’s meaning. We protect those who are younger than us and we support others by encouraging them, and being active role models in our kura. We are the leaders of KNS.
We were extremely fortunate to have Emily from Canterbury Bowls come to our school, and run two lessons per class on the basic fundamentals of how to play bowls.
Then we walked down to the Kaiapoi Workingmen's Club and used their Bowling green to have a go at the real thing!
It was a great experience learning a new sport and we realised there was quite a technique behind it.
