Thank you Minnie for sharing with us the Kauri Tree display...subtle reminders of our eco-logical sensory awareness and intrigue.
Mediator/Problem Solver
This week Ashton & Taylor shared their expertise with our new Mediator - Alessa & Problem Solver - Charles. We love how these roles are empowering our tamariki to help their peers, resolve problems collectively and kindness.
Forest Kindy
We continued to collect seeds from Kowhai Corner for our special Matariki Family Night next week, brought Leighton's pet Dragon to the Dragon's Nest, visited Conrad's farm, and made the most of our second last week in the bush for the Term! Noticing how the fallen leaves have opened up hidden spaces, letting the cold wind in as it blows against the walls of our Kindy Castle - some timely repairs were needed this week!
Matariki
Preparations for celebrating Matariki are underway! Big thanks to our fabulous Parent Group of Volunteers for coming in to work with the children. Anna Howard, Tahna Aimers, Nyssah Hunt, Kaite Pasini, & Sheryll Tabor - you all rock!!
Visiting our friends at St Thomas Aquinas School
St Thomas Aquinas School Students shared their Mihi with us upon our arrival. This was a perfect opportunity for nga tamariki to retell the Legend of the Takitimu, sharing our kete of knowledge with our St Thomas friends to further enhance the meaning behind their mini! This was followed by a race around their Cross Country Track with a St Thomas Buddy for support!
Waiata Time!
Big thanks to Skyla's māmā, Jasmine, & kōkā, Elysia, for teaching us new wait - Te Taukaea Aroha...and more!
