Bonfire Night

Yes, the Kiwi's do remember the 5th November - why? On a warm Spring evening we were invited to share the bonfire night with Katie (Yasmin's friend from class 19) and her family Melanie, Lee and their youngest Aiden, along with their guests. It was an interesting night where we could see the Auckland skyline brighten with various firework displays from across the city.

Some of the home foreworks were a bit of a anti-climax, much to the bemusement of the adults.



Nevertheless, the children found anything that brightens the night sky was exciting, as you can see.



It wasn't long before the adults saw the funny side of the poor firework display, but the children were beginning to feel a bit disappointed.
