The cup song

The cup song was very popular at the end of last term...remembered I had this and thought you might get a kick out of watching it.  Enjoy!

Being Sunsmart!

Thank you to Orrs Unichem Pharmacy Ruakaka who generously gave their time to visit our kindergarten today, talking with the tamariki about how they can be sunsmart this summer in our hot summer sun.

Slip on a long sleeve shirt or slip into the shade

Slop on some sunscreen

Slap on a hat, and 

Wrap on sunglasses!

Orrs Unichem Pharmacy Ruakaka gave each of the children a sunsmart pack which included samples of sunscreen. lip screen and a voucher for a pair of sunglasses. 

Thank you Orrs Unichem Pharmacy.

A little bird told me...

We had a lovely little visitor today...a very friendly little sparrow.

The children just thought it was wonderful.

It was quite happy to climb and hop all over us...what a treat!

We think someone must have hand fed this sparrow.  I wonder who?

The mud pit is fun and full of opportunities to learn.

The mud pit has become a very popular place to play.   Children are learning to share and become part of a unique team of learners. Mud pit play is not only fun - it has as much potential for learning as sand and water play do.  Lots of learning opportunities are developed in the mud pit.  In our Kindergarten mud pit the children learn how to develop relationships with each other and how to work in collaboration.  

Loose parts play...Making robots

Yesterday we had a heap of fun taking old, broken appliances apart and sorting.  Today it was all about letting the imagination fly and getting creative with the treasures we'd uncovered.  

It's amazing what you can create with odd bits and pieces, a glue gun and your imagination!

Today it was all about making robots!
