Well done!

Fun Day

What fun we had yesterday!

We did relays with stilts and egg and spoons. Then we played on the big blow up obstacle course.  Water play in the sandpit was a highlight. There was a fun swim in the pool and Lego building too.  Here a a few pictures.

Scooter Safety in Action

We have been learning about being safe while using our scooters. We have learnt the importance of wearing a helmet and ensuring it fits correctly and tightly to our head and chin. 

While using our scooters we have learnt that riding in the middle of the path, rather than on the curb side is safest.  We know the importance of watching out for cars on 'sneaky' driveways and walking our scooters across roads when we are crossing.

Please remind us of our learning and talk to us often, about these important aspects of scooter safety as we scoot about so that this learning becomes embedded in our everyday lives.

Cello Music

Thank you to  Mrs Brown, David's Mum for sharing her cello playing with our class in the last week of term 3.

Mrs Brown played some music for us on her very old cello. It is about two hundred years old! 

We enjoyed hearing the different songs and the sounds of each note when played one at a time. 

The children then had turns at plucking the strings on the cello.  

😀😀😀😀😀😀Thank you Mrs Brown for sharing with us and giving us a wonderful learning opportunity to make sounds on your beautiful big cello. We loved the really low and high notes.

Dairy Farm Trip for Room 14 Year Twos

The weather held up and a great day was had on Farmer Brian's Dairy Farm in Patamahoe.  There were plenty of learning and fun hands on experiences. We enjoyed the day with Rooms 21 and 26.

Shelby really liked his silverbeet.

Stuck in the mud?  Great to see our children enjoying puddles and muddy bogs.

Negotiating the cattle stop.

Some showed expertise in the tyre relays.  Others got a BUZZ on the electric fence.

This vehicle is called a mule.

Thanks for the ride Farmer Zee.

Thank you Dairy NZ and Farmers Brian, Lynette and Zee for supporting our learning about farming in NZ.
