Baby Quails

About 6 weeks ago our quails had their second lot of babies. They had 6 but unfortunately only 3 have survived. They are very cute and are growing quickly. The children have enjoyed watching and learning about the life cycle of these birds as they have laid eggs, hatched, died and survived. The Children have gained a great deal of knowledge from this experience.

Wombat Stew Grasslands Style

On Tuesday we made Wombat Stew. This came about after one of the children discovered a photographic story about some Wombat stew that children from 2007 had made. We read the real story of Wombat Stew then made a list of things we wanted in our Wombat Stew. As you can imagine it had lots of sweet stuff in it!

On Tuesday morning Teacher Jo and Office Jo took Tyne and Ebony to the supermarket to buy the ingredients on our list. All the morning children helped to make our stew. They did a fantastic job because it was scrumdiddlelylious!

The little digger visits kindy

The footpaths are being constructed on our side of the street this week. The tamariki have been watching the workmen with interest and after we talked with them they gave us an opportunity to have a real life experience on the digger!

Fish and Chips or some other agenda!

We had a very successful 'Fish n Chip' evening last night that was kind of a secret squirrel AGM too! We were delighted to see so many families and to be able to report back to you on our year of progress, change and improvement which we feel has been of benefit to your tamariki.

Please remember we are always here to talk to and we value the partnership we have with you as parents in your child's learning and development. Our portfolios and Blog are a shared document between your child, the staff and you so please feel free to add comments, photos and any other treasures that provide information and precious memories for your child. I know my 12, 10 and 5 year olds love looking through their kindergarten portfolios!
