End of year pamper

The girls were involved in some charming social play this morning. They took it in turns to have hair, makeup and nails done.

All is quiet in Room 4

This afternoon we have started to learn all about the Christmas story. We put together our nativity figures and began our Christmas pictures. After the last two busy weeks all was quiet in Room4  ...

Welcome to our latest student

The last member of Room 4 joins us. Here is a new friend looking after her.

Volume and Capacity

We are using water to explore volume and capacity- it's great fun.

On Tuesday we visited the Hastings Art Gallery to view the contemporary Maori Exibition. We have an amazing time looking at the works and discussing our favourite pieces.

Faraday Centre trip

We are having a wonderful time on out trip to Napier. Morning tea by the duck pond with the ducklings.

TERM 4

Term 4 is here already and we are all back to school with a bang. We're are learning ball skills and our teachers are our big brothers from St. John's College. We are having lots of fun.

Saving the boat

Room 4 wanted to play in the boat but all this rain left a problem. Never fear our young problem solvers sorted it out using the sand pit toys and a bit of extra muscle supplied by Father Simon.

Fun in the Sun

We love spending time with our big buddies from Room 2.

Cornwall Park

What a beautiful day we had at Cornwell Park. We got to see lots of signs of Sping and we particularly enjoyed climbing the trees.

Wow look at our seeds !

We showed our friends from Kick Start how well our sunflowers are growing. We are very excited.

Spring Time in the sandpit

At lunch time some of the Room 4 girls were cooking up a feast in the sandpit. The menu included ice cream and chocolate hotdogs. Yummy.

Shared Mass with St. John's

Today we celebrated the feast of the Assumption with our big brothers from St. John's College.  It was amazing to celebrate this special feast with them and we really enjoyed singing with them.

A Spring Vistor.....

What a lovely surprise we had when Mrs Brady's mum brought in a lamb that she is rearing for us to have a look at.  We really enjoyed learning about this little lamb and wish to say a big thank you.
