Our visit to East Harbour Kindergarten!

We had a wonderful time visiting the teachers and children at East Harbour Kindergarten a couple of weeks ago!

All the Room 2 students were delighted to explore and play in the amazing learning environment of the kindergarten - which of course includes climbing trees, digging holes, playing with mud and enjoying pretend play with dress ups and baby dolls (always a favourite area of mine!). 

We all look forward to visiting again later in the term, we are so lucky to be located within walking distance of each other in our beautiful Eastbourne village. 

Beautiful Zealandia

We had a wonderful trip to Zealandia on Tuesday. The children were excellent bus passengers and delightful visitors at this remarkable sanctuary! We learnt about the wall which encloses the forest and waterways to protect the wildlife from predators; we saw a Tuatara burrow and a Wellington Gecko; we heard many bird calls and we saw Tuis, Shags, a Fantail and a Takahe! 

This visit will support the children's growing understanding of what New Zealand was like before human settlers arrived.
