'Maui Catches The Sun' a very familiar Maori legend that children have been able to recall & retell through the use of our magnetic props. Masks & mask-making have also been props that we have created this week ... we'll share a group animated Maori legend next week using the masks!
Can you guess who our masked warriors are?
We've also watched many interactive Maori legends on YouTube this week ... this Sand Art clip, has especially intrigued EVERYONE! Check out the link below to view ... Sand Art - Creation Maori Legend

A BIG 'ecological' welcome to Annabelle Rae who joined the Forest Kindy gang this week!
Our Forest Kindy kids will be able to show & share all The Wolf saga/tales with Annabelle. The Wolf continues to intrigue EVERYONE @ Ivy Russell Reserve. Imagination plus ... What is imagination we ask ourselves? - A creative ability to form images, ideas & sensations in the mind! Ah ... well we have all been wondering - what does the wolf look like? How kind it was for everyone to share & leave the 'Wolf' some kai, especially as he (or she) snuck into various backpacks & nibbled some sandwiches last week! I wonder if he/she will be able to sniff out these 'kind' treats?
Again a great week. Remember to pop your name down on our Celebration of Learning Evening RSVP - our evening is next Fri 22 Sept 5-7pm.
An amazing week of sport! Well done to the Silver Ferns (netball) this week who played the England Roses & by winning, won the Taini Jamison Cup. The Silver Ferns are now preparing for the Constellation Cup against Australia. Awesome work girls! GO the All BLACKS who take on the Springboks on Saturday! And GO the SOUTHLAND STAGS who play Auckland tonight in a Mitre10 Cup game!
