Leading the way.


Here's some of our Mountain enthusiasts popping off for a spot of research about our local awa..... the stream and flora over the fence.  We are keen for some other of our older  friends to take a turn at satisfying our curiosity about our local geography too.... We had such rich conversation and wonderful observations and sketches abounded. Great investigation e hoa! We have certainly added more info to our developing working theories in this area today!

The Northland Octathalon

The entrants for the 2016 Northland Olympics octathalon event have been announced!  Isaac, Gabby and Leo took part in 8 events.  The rings, the parallel bars, the beam, 100 m race, the 100 m relay, the long jump, the high jump and the shot put.  It was great to see the children bringing in so much knowledge from home.  What other events could we have?.

What else lives on our Mountain?

It's been great when our learners grab a moment or two to draw what they are thinking, discussing and wondering about..... We've had lots of friends of late drawing trees and plant life that they observe from the Kindergarten..... so many interesting works! Keep on compiling lists of  features for us to include in our shared Mountain work my friends!

Constructing on a Wet day




Thanks to all those families who responded to our plea  for collage boxes - we had completely run out! Now we are really busy constructing in the glue gun and art table spaces! Great work to be involved in on a series of wet days! :) thank for your support!
