Today we had a visit from Kath Bee who ran a fun-filled music session. The tamariki really enjoyed the lively songs, instruments, movement and especially, the bubbles! It was wonderful to see the tamariki so engaged as they explored rhythm, language and creativity together. We're looking forward to getting Kath's book of Dragons Under My Bed - check out her music on Spotify!

Our tamariki have been enjoying exploring the world of New Zealand’s native birds through playing, watching, feeding and observing them in our environment. These experiences inspired beautiful artwork as tamariki experimented with colour, line and form to represent the birds they noticed and connected with. The highlight was seeing their artwork proudly displayed on the wall for us all to enjoy! 🐦⬛🎨🖼️

FIREWOOD WORKING BEE
We’re having a working bee in preparation for our next fundraiser, the Firewood Raffle.
We’d really appreciate some help with this one. We have enough people on chainsaws; so we need manpower to shift and pile up wood for a trailer load.
The working bee will be THIS SUNDAY at 10am and the weather forecast is looking beautiful.
If you’re keen and able to help, reply to this post or let one of the teachers know and we’ll let you know where to be ✌️
Flagstaff Walk We have postponed todays walk until next Wednesday due to the weather conditions See you all at kindergarten soon - jam sandwiches for morning tea
