Tamaki Treasure Hunters!

Sunday the 23rd of September is the day that Grade 3 & 4 had been waiting for!
After weeks of learning how to plot and create maps, make up clues and codes and create a treasure hunt it was time for their skills to be put to the test in the annual Grade 3 & 4 treasure hunt.
The kids were split into 2 teams with Team 1 appointing RJ as their captain, and Team 2 selecting Jordenne as their leader. Clues were a combination of picture clues, secret codes and ciphers, riddles and the good old - X marks the spot - on the treasure map which each team were given.
A little bit of rain on the day didn't dampen the kids enthusiasm and in fact made the hunt more exciting. The race was on to find all 10 clues and the treasure at the end. In the end Team 1 won by a mere 30 seconds over Team 2 finding the treasure spot first and collecting the bounty! Well done Grades 3 & 4.
As we have been learning we should have the same excitement when looking through Gods Word as we do when we have our fun treasure hunts.
"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Mat 6: 21
