"That's what friends are for" - check out our planning wall to see what our amazing friends have been up to!
The Birds:
This week Judy and some of the children noticed that our bird feeder has started to attract some friends - in particular a beautiful "mysterious" bird that sings to us if we listen really carefully. Over the week the interest has blossomed as we hear the bird more and more...I wonder if he will still be here after the weekend?? Lots of possible learning pathways - watch this space!
Discovery Time:
This week we were busy making a banner to take down to the Winton Fun Run this Sunday! It's great to hear that so many children and their families are taking part in this community event as well as promoting healthy lifestyles! We look forward to hearing all about it on return next week.

Construction:
This week a new block resource was introduced and has been a big hit. The clear frosted blocks vary in shape and size and the children have been learning about how to fit these together to make mini architecturally designed model houses - lots of maths and problem solving skills at work here as the children figure out how to build higher without having buildings collapse! Judy and a group of children googled images of crazy house designs on the Internet and now the children are imitating these in their creations - awesome!
TF Group:
On Thursday we celebrated Cedric's 4th birthday - thank you for sharing this special day with us, and your amazing Madagascar themed cake. We had a wonderful mat time and sang Happy Birthday in Te Reo, English, and then Filipino - very cool! We also welcomed Sienna Breen and family to the TF Group this week. A BIG warm Kindy welcome to you!!!
