| Our wonderful Parents on Tuesday making decorations for the Tea Party |

| Rachel Reed working her magic |
With the Easter Break upon us we have had a Wonderful Wonderland Week filled with celebration and surprise! A big thank you to all the wonder parent help we have had, especially to Rachel Reed, Rachel Crowe, Leevonne Diack, Nicole Hawkes, Cathy Thompson, Carmel Casey - who all pitched in on Tuesday/Wednesday with preparations for the Mad Hatters Tea Party. It is only with the support of our families that special occasions such as these are a success, and you will all agree that our Kindergarten looked amazing on arrival on Wednesday morning! The idea stemmed after introducing the porcelain tea set in the family corner. Tea parties are a daily occurrence so we decided to incorporate this into our Easter celebration by hosting the Mad Hatters Tea Party...Thank you to everyone who got on board; soooo much effort went in to costumes and the morning tea, we have lots of talented home bakers and creators going by yesterday's success!!Along with the Mad Hatters Tea Party the children had a special visit from the Easter Bunny and an Easter Egg Hunt! On display were the children's creations from the week, including egg carton bunnies and Mad Hatter Hats! We even had a visit from the Southland Times, thanks to Anita Batt for organising this - check out today's (Thursday) paper!

| Look who paid us a visit at Ivy Russell Reserve! |
On Thursday we headed along to Ivy Russell Reserve for an Easter Egg Hunt - again, a fabulous turn out of whanau help on the day! The Easter Bunny paid us another visit, planting laminated eggs around the Reserve for the children to find then exchange for a delicious chocolate egg from the Easter Bunny herself - special mention to Sally for organising this wonderful excursion, AND for wearing the polar fleece bunny costume in such heat! We could not have asked for better weather and it was great to see where we plan to have our own Nature Discovery programme later in the year.
Have a safe and Happy Easter Break, see you Tuesday 2nd April!
