Welcome to Safari World!

Today was a fantastic, fun filled day. The children did great on their first ever Kindergarten excursion. Everyone was so excited and could not wait to see all the animals. They were great listeners today and did very well at following all the directions and trying new things such as walking on a wobbly bridge, feeding a giraffe and watching a sea lion show. 

Everyone loved feeding the giraffe's and they had the biggest smiles on their faces when the giraffe took their food. I am very proud of how well the children did and that everyone had a great time. 

Thank you again to all the parents that helped out it was greatly appreciated! 

Take a look at some of the photos! 

Gingerbread Man!

This week in  Kindergarten we have been focusing on the traditional story 'The gingerbread man.'

The children had a great time in ICT class decorating their own gingerbread man. They each chose different shapes and colours for the eyes, mouth, nose and buttons for his body. 

When they finished they would say "run run as fast as you can you can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread man!"

Take a look at some of our kids in action!

Fun with numbers!

The children have been working extra hard at recognising and ordering numbers one to ten. Today everyone joined in with our number rhyme '10 green bottles hanging on the wall.' They did a fantastic job at lining up in the correct number order and listening out for their number when the class called it out. Take a look at our number fun game!

 No more bottles hanging on the wall!

Fantastic singers we have here! 

1 green bottle accidentally fell!

3 little pigs house building

This week we have been learning all about the story of 'The 3 little pigs.'

The children have been joining in retelling the story as well as answering questions about what types of materials you can find on the pigs house. As a group we joined together to make 3 houses for the pigs. Each child got to choose whether they wanted to make a straw house, stick house or brick house. They all did a great job at helping to make each home. 

Take a look at some of our photos!

We even got to make our own brick house! No big bad wolf could get us now!

Back to school!

What a great first week we have had back at school. The children have come back very excited to see all their friends. Everyone has been playing so nicely together and sharing stories about where they went over the holiday and have now really begun to express their thoughts!
