Bridge Opening

News reporters Justin and Jayda here at the bridge opening! Our helpers are Delta, Lucy, Connor and Jahzin.

On Friday the 21st of June Nayland Primary finally opened the Poorman's Stream Bridge that goes from the driveway by Otumarama to the Nayland Primary School Dental Clinic. Earlier in the morning the City Council blessed the bridge and we got to be the first ones to cross it. First we started by lining up and it took ages. It was like sitting on the Antarctic ground while waiting for the bridge to be introduced. But the mayor was there and we felt manahau! Then a man spoke and he was as old as time itself. He told us the bridge will be there for hundreds of years after we have passed away. It is going to be there for lots of people to get to school easier and faster. Laela cut the silky blue ribbon and we finally crossed.

News reporters and important people came.

One man was 99 years old!

It was a cold, sunny morning.

We received passports as we crossed the bridge.
