Dress up Day

Dress up day was loads of fun and well supported by our whanau and children. Some very innovative and popular dress ups and characters arrived at kindergarten. Ally had to then go to a Head Teachers Meeting in the afternoon. They appreciated the look and hoped you all had a great day.

From the children's growing interest we decided to invited the St John's Ambulance along for a visit to show us all the tools and instruments they use to help people.

Music Visit from Rob Gale

This morning we had Rob Gale visit us from The Funkeys and demonstrate a part of their CD with the tamariki. It was fun and our children were amazing with their listening, thinking and manners.... we can be so very proud of them ......they rock.

We have purchased the CD's to add some variety to the music we have. What we have heard so far is very good. The children have been engaged in the music he shared this morning throughout the session upon their initiation which is a great indication of what they think of it!!!!

Make your own pet and bring it to kindergarten Day.

Today Hannah shared her pet at mat time to the children. She described the butterflies as the cats ears - butterfly ears! The whiskers and tail were the same materials.

My mummy put some spots on it and my dad put the ears in , the whiskers in and the legs in and my daddy put the tail in too. He put all the hard things in for me.

I painted it. There was two eyes, a nose and a mouth. I got the box from my gagarge for my mail and my cat to rest in.

Hannah made a beautiful picture on paper of two cats sealed in an envelope for us to open.

Great working together as a family to achieve a special sharing momnet for Hannah. Thanks guys!!!
