Term 1 Week 10


Preparing for Easter

This week our team of creative designers set to work decorating Kindy in preparation for our Easter celebrations and Family Night coming up Tuesday 30th March. All families are warmly invited to join us for a picnic tea 5:30-7pm here at Kindy. A big thank you to the Parent Group for organising this term's Family Night, a wonderful opportunity to gather together, to meet friends old and new, and to connect with the children and whanau who play an integral role in your child's early years learning journey and beyond! Please be sure to RSVP to this event on the sheet at sign-in desk, details on our front door and in your Parent Tin. 

Dye and pastel egg creations in the Project Room (a place of research & discovery) enticed Harper, Ella and Hunter on Wednesday morning.  A wonderful space where 'The Arts' can be showcased as a valuable learning tool and medium for self-expression! 








Taiao Tuhura Discovering Nature Programme

Huxley and Harper led the group to the start of the "Hidden Path" @ the Hillary Street entrance bridge. Our plans were to venture along the path to find out where it leads, however, we soon discovered gigantic colourful autumn leaves, rotting logs where insects were hidden, and became engrossed in seeing the works of the huhu grub! Next week we'll  travel further along this pathway and find more adventures and learning along the way...











Albatross Cam - Department of Conservation

Up on the BIG screen we've been keeping a watchful eye overseeing the baby albatross chick from  Taiaroa Heads/Royal Albatross Colony Otago Peninsula this Term. Our Curriculum Design focus affords us the opportunity to introduce and provoke our understandings of the natural world around us, through a plethora of inclusive mediums.

Metamorphosis

We still await the arrival of our metaphorical caterpillars - keep watching closely everyone!

Caring for others ...

Winton Kindy whanau culture promotes one of mindfulness, empathy and nurturing. Our good friend Taylor is notably away at the moment so his friends decided to make him a card to let him know we are all thinking of him. 





What a great way to end our week ... Kia Atawhai!
