Room 7's Visit to Kindy

So much to explore at Kids First Kindergarten yesterday. Half an hour just wasn't long enough so we will have to go back again soon for another visit.

Science Experiment/Gumboot Throw

Children were fascinated watching the chemical reaction that took place when a drop of dish washing liquid was added to milk and food colouring.

Room 7 getting into the swing of things with their great gumboot throws as a way to finish our Kiwiana topic.

Green Team and Buddy Class

Carrying on with the Kiwiana theme designing a tee-shirt with our buddy class.
Dae-Dae, Ava and Skyla proudly showed us the scarecrow cats that they made in the Green Team. A clever way to recycle ice-cream container lids.

Kiwiana

Kiwiana is our theme for the first two weeks of this term. Such a great topic finding out about what quirky objects define us as New Zealanders. We gave making a pavlova a go and it actually turned out and was delicious, so the children said. Of course the best part of any baking is tasting the mixture much to the delight of Jackson and Keira. We thought the mixture looked like shaving cream but it didn't taste like that!! No pavlova is complete without good old kiwifruit.
Mrs Clarke took some photos of her sheep and we got to touch their wool. We thought the sheep looked funny as their wool falls off so they don't need to be shorn.

Hat Week

A big thank you to senior students Alex, Topaz, Ben, Juliet and Katie who helped us make our duck hats for the Friday hat parade.

We made them some cards as a token of our appreciation.
