Polyfest 2015 Gift Bags

Waiting to receive a Black ASB gift bag, I was full of curiosity. “I wonder what is in there” I thought to myself. I watched all the other students draw objects out of their bags. My classmates and I were at the 2015 Polyfest collecting ASB gift bags. Finally I was given a bag by one of the generous female ASB workers. I politely thanked her.

I assumed there was something like stickers etc, but the bag contained a small sized ASB bottle of sunscreen, an ASB water bottle, an ASB hackey sack, a pair of ASB sunglasses and an ASB sun hat. This is an amazing act of kindness, acknowledging a vast amount of students by giving each and every one of them an ASB gift bag that had all sorts of different things in it.

I'd like to thank ASB for providing all these gifts, although not many people thanked them. I would like to say a big thank you for everything you have done. I am truly grateful.

2015 Polyfest

Polyfest 2015 has arrived and Pt England Intermediate is lucky enough to receive the opportunity to visit it. We were all super excited as this is the first time a Pt England Class had visited the Polyfest as a group.

The Polyfest is an annual event that takes place in Manukau. This is a vast festival full of food and culture. The Polyfest has been going for 40 years! It was created to help students express and learn more of their culture.

A big surprise that happened during our visit is that the wonderful John Key the prime minister of our beautiful country aotearoa, payed a visit. It was great seeing the prime minister at the Polyfest.

We also received plenty of free gifts. Such as Sunglasses, Hats, Wristbands, A 4min Hourglass, Sunscreen, Breakfast Crackers, Coconut Milk, ASB Bags, Water Bottles and Lollipops. These are a lot of gifts. Although some of these gifts are very unusual we were all happy.

In conclusion I loved our year 7&8 trip to Polyfest. I would like to say a big thank you to all the parent helpers and others for attending the trip and supervising us. We are all very grateful as without you we would not be able to go to the trip.
