Week 7, Term 4

This week we had some fun dressing up for Book Character Day. We had been learning about narrative stories and writing so we dressed up as our favourite character.
Caroline, our teacher, was Grandma McGarvey!

Fun times at Discovery Time!

We are having some great fun during Discovery Time. We have been focusing on developing our social skills to ensure everyone is feeling included into games. Last Friday Neroli was soooo pleased and proud of us because throughout the entire session everyone played cooperatively and happily together!

This week we were off to the moon! I'm sure you must have heard us countdown to blast off!


Parihaka Picnic Tea
On Tuesday evening the weather held out for us to gather to remember and talk about the events of Parihaka. There was some fabulous art work on display, speeches, drama and musical performances. I felt extremely proud of the children showcasing their knowledge and skills.
