Amby the ambulance comes to visit

Both morning and afternoon children were delighted to have a visit from Amby the ambulance and friends last week. Belinda from St Johns did a great job telling the tamariki/children stories and information relating to the ambulance service. Amby was very cute and his friends (puppets) were lots of fun.

This tied in really nicely with the learning that has been occurring through the hospital that has been set up here at kindergarten. Our Doctors and Nurses have been very busy helping the sick and wounded!

Please watch this!!!!

Please watch the following - it is regarding the funding cuts and what impact this will have on kindergartens in New Zealand.

Science alive!

Following on from the science festival in the holidays we have been having a very sciencey term so far! We've been baking, making pop corn, jelly, exploring ice and how it melts after a frost, and conducting different experiments with dye. The tamariki/children have really been enjoying being scientists and making not only awesome discoveries but also yummy kai to eat!! These photos show both the morning and afternoon children enjoying scientific experiences.
