All the children got into different teams. There was one team for each country like Fiji, Jamaica and Scotland.

School Production


St Joseph’s Matamata are making signs for their production. The production is called The Magic Tree Book. Some of the signs say “we love books” or “books are great”. Some say “keep our library open”. The signs are for the Duffy Town people to protest against the library closing. The Duffy people sing a song while holding the signs. They want to keep the library open because books are important.
