Let's be sunsmart!

A huge thank you to Orrs Pharmacy Ruakaka!!

On friday we were very lucky to welcome Emma Hales from Orrs Pharmacy Ruakaka into the kindergarten. Emma spoke with the children about the importance of being San Smart and making sure that they Slip, Slop, Slap and Wrap.

SLIP - on a hat

SLOP - on sunscreen

SLAP - on clothing

WRAP- on sunglasses

As well as promoting the Sun Smart message to our tamariki, Orrs Pharmacy Ruakaka gave each of our children a Sun Smart pack which included information about being sunsmart, an SPF 30 sun protection lip balm, three small sunscreens and a voucher to bring into the pharmacy to choose a FREE pair of sunglasses. 

A huge thank you to Orrs Pharmacy Ruakaka and to all our wonderful parents and whanau who came along and shared the day with us.

Marshmallows

Today the children extended their interest in bonfires....we made REAL marshmallows!

We thought we better share the recipe in case there are requests for more at home.

This is a swing that Jack and Gracie wanted to make so that they could share a seat with their friends.  We put a plank between two swings and made one swing.  This swing fitted 5 people on it.  We made sure that we were holding onto the rope when we were swinging.

Petrina from Sport Northland is coming in to work with the children for this term.  She is teaching us some new movement skills we can use with the children.  It is lots of fun and today she brought in her hoops and the children made a train with her.  What an awesome time we had.
