Butterfly Garden

The Red and Yellow Rooms loved getting out in the butterfly garden as part of our investigations topic this term. They worked hard as a team to pull out some very big weeds to make our garden ready for some new plants.

Mathematics Activities

These were our Can Do activities for Mathematics.  We enjoy working on our strand maths activities each day with our buddies.  These help us to remember important skills that we have learnt, including our shapes, patterns, length language, and to work on developing our fine motor skills.

Discovery Time

We were very excited to come back to school and see the changes in our learning spaces and the new things that had been purchased.  AND then we were able to use them during Discovery Time.  We LOVED our new kitchen unit and train table!  We had a great learning time, making sure that we showed respect to our new equipment and learnt where to put it back so the next person can use it easily.

Congratulations to Eseta who was our Discovery Time Star.

Soccer

Today we had a visit from Xavier from Mainland Soccer. We had a fantastic time learning some new ball skills and practising them in some mini soccer games.

Swimming

We had a fantastic last week at swimming. We got to wear life jackets and swim in the deep pool. We also got to have a turn in a boat.

We enjoyed learning about how to stay safe in the water. We learned that you can test how fast a river is moving by throwing leaves in the water and watching how fast they move.

Miss Browne and Miss Smits are very proud of you all for the confidence and excellence you showed when getting into the water!
