Kidsfirst Papanui kindergarten have turned daffodils into gold!

Gold coins that is. Tamariki came to kindergarten dressed in yellow for their very own Daffodil Day Cancer Society fundraiser.

"The next day we walked up the road to the ANZ bank to deposit all of the coins we collected," says Teacher, Maryam Mamat.

Nice work Kidsfirst Papanui!
