Term 4 Week 9



Our second last week for the year...Not long to go until Christmas!!


MTW Group:
On Monday we had a red day, with shared RED healthy morning tea and RED dress-ups to celebrate receiving our Healthy Heart Award. Thank you to Kylie and Linda for putting the time and effort into achieving this.

On Tuesday we walked along to Burleigh Rest Home to sing Christmas Carols to the residents. Well done everyone what a special way to share some kindness. Thank you to the parents who came along. As one resident said, "This is what Christmas is all about," and another mentioned that, "This has just made my day seeing all these young children coming here," tu meke - awesome!!

On Wednesday Tess Chapman and Ava came in to make Christmas crafts with the children. The group made Xmas trees with painted feet - very creative!! Sally and Christina went to Fiordland Kindergarten to observe their Nature Discovery Programme. The Kindergarten takes the 12 oldest children to Ivon Wilson Reserve once a week to experience nature hands-on. Sally and Christina have come back with lots of great ideas and inspiration for perhaps looking into introducing something simliar at Winton later next year...

Today Kylie continued with the feet painting with our TF Group. Sally and the group got busy in the vege garden pulling carrots - taste testing was the highlight! Tomorrow the potatoes will be checked and hopefully we can make something with them!
