DRESS REHEARSAL MONDAY 25TH AUGUST
On Monday we walked down to Winton School for a dress rehearsal before the big day on Tuesday. It was great to see soooo many Winton School students and teachers come and support us, as well as our wonder Kindy supporters and parent helpers. In the afternoon we had a second practice show for St Thomas Aquinas School who came to Kindy and watched our performance followed by the slide show of our Polyfest Art.
THE BIG DAY!!!! TUESDAY 26TH AUGUST
On Tuesday we headed into Invercargill by bus to the Museum and Queens Park. We enjoyed morning tea in the Band Rotunda before heading into the Museum to view our Polyfest Art and have a look around. Back on the bus and off to the Stadium!! We were greeted by our fabulous Polyfest Volunteers who escorted us to our changing room and helped us back stage. Puipui (skirts) on, tipare (headbands) on, black lipstick for the girls and korowai (cloaks) and poi for our four leaders - and of course the glow stick bracelets for kapo kapo nga whetu (twinkle twinkle little star)....time to make our way to the side of the stage! The presenters welcomed us on stage as we took our places. Wow, sooo many Winton Kindergarten supporters in the crowd!! The children sand their four waiata and moved their bodies to the beat - a great honour to be part of such special occasion representing our Kindergarten! Before we knew it the show was over and we made our way to have a group photo before getting changed once more. A quick play in the playground then back to Winton - what a big day it was!! A huge thank you to our parent helpers for making the day such a success. Ka pai to mahi to all our talented tamariki, a job well done!
CANCER SOCIETY DAFFODIL DAY FRIDAY & MONDAY
Thank you to everyone for their support for the Cancer Society's Daffodil Day held on Friday and today. On Friday we took our donations with us and went down the street to find collectors to pass on our contributions - Paper Plus, The Bakery and New World, what a great way to end the week out and about in our local community. Thanks to everyone who dressed up, brought something yellow for shared kai, donations, and helping out.
