What a hive of excitement both Judy and Kylie have expereinced as we have anticipated the arrival of our new, very hi tech, multi-media installation!! And today, we didn't have to wait any longer...It has been installed.
"It's like the movies" said Rylan as he went and got himself a chair and parked himself in front of the BIG screen!! No more squeezing around the small screen, pushing for a space at the front ... it is just so wonderful!!

We have noticed such a shift in how children learn...Visual is certainly the key. Children are SUCH visual learners.
Our television, stereo and VCR have all become obsolete and as we can now put everything through the multi-media set up.
You Tube has been a hit so if you have any videos that you think the children may like, let us know and we will play them. Today we have watched Takahe creeping around the forest & watched an orphan Kiwi being found, hatched & raised ... amazing. We are also able to play our new ICT initiative iDVD's on the big screen. Very very cool!!
Check out this mornings movie ... performed by 'Kiwi' group in front of Takahe group the Maori legend 'How Kiwi lost it's wings'. It was very exciting to be able to play back the movie to the children on the big screen!! Well done Acacia & Troy who performed famously in front of an audience ... and Rylan our Tanemahuta 'Guardian of the Forest' who lived & played the part so well (and remembered his lines) ... fantastic.
Wow, we are nearly famous!!

Cheers,
Kylie and Judy
