Tuesday 29th August the Harinui Syndicate went for a walk to look at some of the special Papatoetoe Murals. First we looked at the Picnic Mural at Burnside Park. We looked carefully at the mural, we talked to our buddies and then shared with the syndicate something we learned from the mural story we saw.

Then we walked across the road at the pedestrian crossing to the other side of the street. We walked past the car park and next to the building site. We looked at the Bottle-O Mural.

After that we walked just around the corner to see the mural of the Old Central Store. We noticed lots of differences to the Pak n Save, New World and Countdown we shop at today. What can you see?

Then we walked down the road past a lot of shops to see the Camoes of Papatoetoe Women. It shows pictures of very special Papatoetoe women who made a big difference to the history of Papatoetoe. They had many different jobs and are remembered for different reasons. We saw one picture of Sister Patricia Erin who used to be the principal of Holy Cross School before Mr Young!

The last mural we looked at was one of how the street looked in Papatoetoe in the olden days. The shops looked different and so did the cars! There was a big picture of the chemist long ago. We looked at the mural and then looked around the street to compare what we saw.
