What a Whale of a Time

Thanks to everyone who came along to make our trip to Kettle Park such a success. We enjoyed the bus trip and explored new developments in our beautiful city by driving past our soon to be completed new stadium too.Active movement was the highlight with the dinosaur slide, whale, swings and wide open spaces too. Here are some photos of our fun end of term outing. Cheers and thanks to all our parents/whanau who came along today:)

Mosaics and Christmas Countdown

Mosaics (1) This week children are creating their own designs for pavers for our outdoor area. The process will continue over a few weeks so all children will have the oportunity to be involved. As you can see by the photos they will be part of the complete process - from carting them in from the car right through to deciding where they will be laid in the ground......so watch our blog for progress.

Friday 3 December - Time to put up our christmas tree and decorate it ......

Sunday 5 December - The Santa Parade - we know many of our families will be there!
