Dem Bones

This week in Waonui we have really been enjoying our House of Science kit because we are learning all about the human body. We have been investigating our skeletal system and having fun looking at all the bones we have in our body. Some of us are even choosing non fiction books about the human body from the library so we can research a bit more about what our body is made up of. Such an interesting topic to be looking into!

Water Play

Ngahere have been loving the warmer weather this term as it means we can do one of our favourite activities - water play! Our tamariki have been very imaginative as they create magic potions to cast spells on each other, become whales swimming through the water and practice their pouring and water control. This activity has been available during learning through play and break times. We have been very impressed with how well our tamariki are working collaboratively during this activity, sharing and making sure everyone can be involved.
