Visiting Maungaarangi Kindy

We are so lucky to have a new kindy at the bottom of our field. Each Wednesday one Junior class goes down for a visit. We went down today. The best things about visiting the kindy are:

*climbing the trees

*playing in the sandpit

*using the woodwork bench

Today the kindy children had been to the beach. They found a dead octopus. It was stinky!!

We had a good look at it.

Jenna Turns 6!!

Our first birthday in our Year 1 class. Several children wrote stories today about Jenna's Birthday. We decorated the whiteboard before she came to school. Some children drew pictures for her. We were so lucky because Jenna's mum made some cupcakes for all of us!!

I'm sure Jenna had a lovely day.....she had a lovely smile all day..... and she was the Star of the Day.

We hope you had a very happy birthday Jenna!!
