POLYFEST ART: Embrace Your Identity - The Nurturedness of Nests
Ka pai to mahi great work families...Invites went out this week for the Polyfest Art Awards to be held on the 2nd of August at 2pm at SIT Centre Stage - please RSVP as we would love to have as many children representing Kindy as possible (we received an email confirmation that our Nest would be on display at the Southland Museum and Art Gallery!!). What an amazing accolade for the efforts put in last term.

POLYFEST PERFORMANCE
Our MTW Group will be representing Kindy on Wednesday the 26th of August @ 11:45am @ Stadium Southland - mark this date on your calenders!! The children are busily working on their waiata/songs, actions, drumming, and poi. The Discovery Time Group (10 oldest children) have been learning about tipare/headbands and kowhaiwhai patterns/significant designs this week. We have watched a number of Polyfest Groups perform on DVD to gather ideas and visions for this year...watch this space! Sally handed out the lyrics to our four waiata for families to practice at home...songs can be googled for music or bring in your USB and we can copy these for you.
