Matariki was celebrated at Grasslands Kindergarten with a puppet show about the many Matariki myths and legends whislt the boil up heated through on the stove and the hangi cooked away in the kai cooker. It was a lovely day shared with the kindergarten tamariki, whanau and extended whanau. Rhode Street Junior school joined us as well to celebrate the beginning of the Maori new year.Grasslands Kindergartenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02645047546731469896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-990132611429414043.post-50279104724051040562012-05-26T20:14:00.004+12:002012-05-26T20:17:06.647+12:00Quail Egg Pikelets<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Our Quails lay consistently on a daily basis sometimes twice a day. We have several tamariki with a passion for quail egg collecting and announce with great excitement when there are new eggs in the cage. The children collect them and store them in the kitchen fridge. Today while cleaning out the fridge i wondered what to do with all the eggs. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I asked the children at mat time if they would like me to make some quail egg pikelets for morning tea so</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> that the eggs are used and don't go to waste. Well they didn't last long, the pikelets were devoured!</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">They must have been delicious!</span></div>

Our friend Andries brought some tiger worms in for us to investigate. They were very cool and moved about lots. We called them dancing worms. They look very interesting under a microscope and magnifying glass. We learnt about their bodies and their functions and that they help make compost and the juice is very good for the plants. Thank you Andries.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Its that time of year again, the weather is cooling off but we still have some beautiful sunny days, great weather for toasting marshmallows! The children absolutely love this, and its a fantastic authentic learning experience. We even use twigs from the garden as our toasting sticks. Toasting marshmallows in the sandpit also provides a great opportunity to learn about fire safety and teach safe fire use. Our children show great maturity around the fire pit, they are very responsible and knowledgable about fire safety. This activity is well timed as the children currently have a strong interest in fire trucks and we have a trip to Chartwell Fire station planned for later in the month. - Abby.</span>Grasslands Kindergartenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02645047546731469896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-990132611429414043.post-6599645674024953962012-05-11T15:15:00.001+12:002012-05-18T15:34:48.927+12:00Bongo Drumming<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A small moment in the mornng of bongo drumming! The children are just loving it and are managing the time on the drums with a timer. To include literacy we have a clipboard with paper and pen to write their name down for a turn. The children are demonstrating real patience and turn taking. They are captive audiences for each other too. It has been interesting to observe children's confidence in preforming to others grow!</div>

The term focused a great deal around Kai with cooking, pizza day and the Rhode Street School Kai Festival. We made Quail egg and bacon pies as our quails were in massive egg production. Tomato chutney was made to accompany the pies served with a side of watercress. They were very yummy! Thank you to every one who supported our stand it was a great evening and we made a nice profit</div>

We are so excited about this new deck and the opportunities it will bring for for creating new play spaces, such as the water play or hanging the hamock. It also makes it safer for climbing the tree because now we are able to place a saftey mat underneath. Our school day children are very excited too. Eager to have their lunch out there on the next sunny day, we are still waiting for the rain to pass yet.</span></p>Grasslands Kindergartenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02645047546731469896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-990132611429414043.post-35746994683160337732011-06-27T14:14:00.006+12:002011-06-27T14:31:18.453+12:00Rough and Tumble play<p><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwbmeVWfTrC4v3YXVK95ob6yLRToXMJxV9vnbHAomIvyx19IKszjMeR-WEFeKFh_I7i_y2Po1kgfzHry7W3Lg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The children love this! They call it Bomby Knockers and the aim is to try and knock each other off the pole. If your left on your the winner and you challenge someone else. Its especially ticky because you need to hold your balance at the same time as you try to knock off your opponent. There are rules involved and the children are excellent at following and enforcing them, such as no hitting in the face only on the body. We do this to provide our tamariki with an outlet for their physical play and built up energy. Rough housing play such as this is particularly exciting for boys and provides a great opportunity for children to take and manage risk, build apon their motor skill competence, and boys especially enjoy the play because it enables them to address their need for power and to manage and keep their sudden increase in playful aggression within the limits of fun!</span></p>Grasslands Kindergartenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02645047546731469896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-990132611429414043.post-6897125346117825682011-06-08T15:44:00.003+12:002011-06-08T16:00:22.797+12:00The day the plumbers came to kindergartenToday we had plumbers come to kindergarten to replace the guttering. We asked them to check for the hippopotamus on the roof eating cake. If he wasn't there then he probably was at his job at the zoo. The children were eager to ask once they got outside to which the plumbers Mike and Chris replied that they had chased him away....he was late for work. A fantastic big boy answer!!!! The children were highly engaged in the work and observed measuring with purpose and the use of authentic tools. They investigated alongside and interrogated the big boys about what they were doing. Chris and Mike you guys rock.<br /><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyZSgzg2WDmkr7LpZ82QzkGrnF0HXhfPfnc7nGWD4iuIdqYxH6dszUJV86u5zLeEHiRELFJxCCEJMBVM_8Scg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Grasslands Kindergartenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02645047546731469896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-990132611429414043.post-59659785191256765652011-05-30T14:59:00.001+12:002011-05-30T15:00:32.674+12:00Matariki Celebration<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOMqqIx4OhPDzCNDA2iqCrtJ-i8STlRZ-QIqIzXG-ZADvBHDMtdjH_05prvr00t74rgoo3afmw07c7E9vC8CA0ZkyEa_Ft9KQ3K7VbrvlmRReDvkv7_uQ9pyg6je8WfHpS-VaC3kwg0JuV/s1600/matariki+lunch+notice.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 142px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612338479475850162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOMqqIx4OhPDzCNDA2iqCrtJ-i8STlRZ-QIqIzXG-ZADvBHDMtdjH_05prvr00t74rgoo3afmw07c7E9vC8CA0ZkyEa_Ft9KQ3K7VbrvlmRReDvkv7_uQ9pyg6je8WfHpS-VaC3kwg0JuV/s200/matariki+lunch+notice.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Click to enlarge notice.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">We hope to see you there.</span></div>Grasslands Kindergartenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02645047546731469896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-990132611429414043.post-60985994514439788312011-05-23T18:27:00.005+12:002011-05-23T19:22:30.682+12:00Toasting Marshmallows<p><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dw1Lsc99RU_G7uuYJFmuGeaQHOrVy-Ypm89MwFJYA04UyCVz3oa4mwwrARXwQZrJpNX6TbLzUauCnmnPCEKpw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Some of our Tamariki have been requesting a fire pit (we haven't had one in a while) so this morning in the beautiful sunshine we made a fire pit - for one thing only - Toasting Marshmallows.

They are a little shy and have very bad eyesight so will nibble on fingers poked through the cage as they think this is kai!!! A litle more handling and they will be just lovely. They are a great size for the children to handle and are very social affectionate animals.</div></div></div>Grasslands Kindergartenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02645047546731469896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-990132611429414043.post-8295871374730835842011-04-07T15:21:00.000+12:002011-04-15T09:47:36.318+12:00Kapahaka<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dz1K-uy8Ej11x8LBxGD_vDXHc0fdu5aY7elKlJxtguQjkavz9AzScxU9tNGzi9mUrRy9dOoShC0YrxjFSKKVw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Grasslands Kindergartenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02645047546731469896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-990132611429414043.post-85102720748104894122011-04-07T10:49:00.004+12:002011-04-15T09:53:54.244+12:00Rhode Street Kapahaka Junior Group<p></p><br /><p>Today we had the Junior Rhode Street Kapahaka Group come to Grasslands Kindergarten </p><br /><p>Tau ana - Amazing !They sung beautifully and gave us an awesome preformance. We even knew some of the waiata. It was great to see so many of the tamariki who used to come to Grasslands Kindergarten and acknowledge them and their friends. We had a little surprise for them too. We had been practising Tainui te waka and preformed this for them too. Ka pai to mahi tamariki </p><br /><p>Ally<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dw4IRqxwzSQMjowgilZVpOnB4EXAQ_5iZyy6xsu3fHQh-lYqhcQdxAP0MIW8EeyImrKNrlcNN4V3jhD0MgKyg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p>Grasslands Kindergartenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02645047546731469896noreply@blogger.com0
