Kowhai Playground

 A very important meeting took place on Friday.  We met with our playground designer, Marie.  We voted on the best design features to be included in our playground upgrade.

 Agenda.   

Let's have a discussion: 

What kind of bridge should be included?   We need monkey bars, a climbing net and some balancing equipment. 

 A crawl tunnel too.   I wonder what kind of imaginary games we could play in this?  Crawling through a dinosaur land?  Could it be a fishing boat or a rocket ship?

Let's vote!

Eyes on Art!

What a wonderful gathering of artists in our hall.  We were all inspired and delighted.

It was a joy to talk to the artists about their work.  We were in awe of their talent!

Little Kiwi

The kiwi is a very special treasure that belongs to us - New Zealand- our place!

We read a lovely story about a lonely kiwi bird who went looking for friendship.  We made some 'kiwi art' into a book retelling this story

Autumn

Autumn is a beautiful season heralding the arrival of the colder weather.  The trees paint a picture right in front of us: green to orange, yellow, red and finally brown.

Tane Mahuta day - a time to celebrate our noble Kauri tree.  We enjoyed creating leaf rubbings.

 Here are some gorgeous leaves created by Room 3 to commemorate this season.  We made lovely Mother's day card showcasing our leaves too.
