Both Linda and Bridget are familiar with the environment having relieved here
many times before, and we welcome Jenny to our learning community.

them in their role during their time at Winton Kindy, thank you.

The Stick Insect found by our Taiao Tuhura tamariki has caused much interest from all of our kaitiaki here at Kindy!
Once the insect was carefully transported back to Kindy the tamariki came up with a plan on how they would keep it safe and happy in captivity. With much discussion they decided some sticks, soil, bark and leaves would create a great ecosystem for our new friend.
Throughout the week the tamariki have been able to get close and personal with "Sticky" handling it and spending lots of time looking at it through the terrarium.
Each day new questions have been asked, research done, and discoveries made. Some of our wonderings include:
"What do they eat?"
"Where are its eyes?"
"How does it drink?"
"What birds like to eat them?"
               
Wow this insect sure is making us inquire!!
Have a great weekend everyone!!
Your Winton Kindy Teaching Team
