Road Works

2010-08-18T02:19:00.000-07:00

We enjoyed watching the road works on Macandrew Road. We were able to stand up at the fence so we could watch the men resealing the road. Sometimes it was really smelly and sometimes it was really noisy. It was difficult for us to park at the Kindergarten because the road was closed.

We have been practicing doing Mosaics, first we used coloured paper, then paua shell. Next we will try cut up tiles.

concert

2009-09-12T03:43:00.000-07:00

Well the concert arrived and we performed really well, the caterpillar was ready and off we went, it was so exciting. We also sang purerehua and did our haka which we really like doing.

2009-09-12T03:33:00.000-07:00

We made a caterpillar for the Maori Pacific Island Festival at the Edgar Centre. We sang Noke Niki Nuku and the caterpillar walked infront of the children while they sang. Then we sang Purerehua, it was really difficult because we had to walk on our knees.

It was so much fun today experimenting with colour and patterns. We created designs on the table with paint then placed a piece of paper on top to transfer the pattern to the paper. What lovely patterns we made.

Today we took advantage of the strong windy day and took the children to the local park. We tied plastic bags onto wool and had such a great time watching them blowing in the wind.

The Trip to Chancala Farm

2009-03-29T17:55:00.000-07:00

Our big day out was so much fun. We woke to a fine morning and everyone was so excitied.
After we climbed off the bus, we were all given a bucket with bread pieces in it. Off we went around the farm feeding the animals through the fences. Some children were very brave especially when the huge tongue of the cow scooped up the bread.
The sheep were very tame and poked their heads into the buckets to help themselves to the bread.
We must go again another time.

We had cherries for morning tea today. Cherrries are sweet and juicy - only the stones and stalks were left.

Recently a group of our children performed in the Festival. They did very well and we were all proud of them. This is the 7th year that we have taken part in this concert.

Our new vege garden

We are learning about living in a sustainable way.

Here is our new vegetable garden that we have just planted out.

Our children are enjoying watering and tending to our plants.

Our new bird

2008-09-14T21:17:00.000-07:00

Here is Jack. Or should it be Jackie?
We'll have to wait and see.

Jack is our new bird. He loves to make a big noise especially when the children are singing. He uses an outside voice.
Sometimes he has to spend time outside just so we can hear ourselves think.

Baking Day

2008-06-03T22:05:00.000-07:00

June 08
Afternoon Session baking day.
Children have found that it is very
difficult to see what is going on in
the basin when you are so small.
Next time we will have to lower the
table won't we. They were learning
to work together and to take turns stirring. But Yummy
biscuits.

The Train Trip to Palmeston

2008-05-19T02:48:00.000-07:00

Today our kindergarten joined some other kindergartens to take a trip to Palmeston. The Easter Bunny was also on the train. It was a long day and everyone was really tired when we arrived back. But what a fun day.

"I'm using the computer to see the train. I'm at the new kindy now, I didn't go on the same train. I went to the silver one" said Madison 24 October

"I went to the train" said Jai "Jesse needs his name on" 24 October
