Congratulations to those children who figured out the answer to Mrs Corbett's question: "What is the name of the lighthouse that is closest to Papakura?"

And the answer is:

Mrs Corbett Said: "Well done finding out that Manukau Heads Lighthouse is the closest Lighthouse we can visit from Papakura! I am looking forward to seeing your Lighthouse Pictures and/or Models."

Mrs Corbett. 

Excellent job to those children who joined Mrs Corbett in her meeting at 11.30 am today and figured out the answer to her question.
