With Shevaun joining us she brings amazing Te Reo, so it's time to brush up my skills and share our song this week.

Such Fun

Today in reading we had two books with mice in them. One was a non-fiction book and was very informative for the children. The other group read about Brave Father Mouse... this got me thinking about a funny You Tube clip, I have attached so you can enjoy it with your family.

Ferrymead

We have had the most fabulous day at Ferrymead. The children enjoyed a tram ride, going to school in the early 1900's, household chores, baking at the bakery and finally training to be apprentice shop keepers.
Many thanks to Janine, Maxine, Nicky, Shara and Steven, who were absolutely amazing and without them the trip would not have been the same.

Autumnal Fun

We are so fortunate that Bill has collected leaves for us. The most amazing sight meet us this morning, the biggest widest pile of yellowy, reddy, golden leaves was out in the middle of the field. We ran and jumped into the pile the leaves crinkled and crackled under our feet. W tossed them in the air. They definitely made us itchy, and we had leaved tangled in our hair.
