Bayfield Kindergarten

❄️ ❄️ Due to wintry conditions and unsafe roads all Kindergartens are a 10am start today Tuesday 4th August. Kia tupato. ❄️ ⚠️ ⛄️

This week, the tamariki followed their curiosity about the Football World Cup 🏆 and used it as a springboard for learning across the areas of numeracy, literacy, active movement, geography, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Through hands-on experiences, they made connections, shared ideas, and began to notice the many roles and skills that come together in the game of football. ⚽
To celebrate and reflect on their learning, the tamariki ended the week with a special Sports Day. 🏀🏈⚽🏐 They watched a live semi-final football ⚽ match between England and Argentina on the big screen, dressed as their favourite athlete, 👟🏃‍♂️ and enjoyed oranges 🍊 and iced biscuits 🍪 at half time, bringing the excitement of the World Cup into a shared experience. 😊
