Dino Day

We LOVE dinosaurs and the end of Term One seemed like the perfect time to celebrate and enjoy a special day all about dinosaurs. 

It was great fun designing our own dinosaurs, check out some of our creations below:

Our challenge for the day was working out how to help our mini dinosaurs hatch from their eggs. Some of us liked the ideas of using pure strength and force to break them out, while others thought waiting patiently lead to further excitement.

  

The highlight of our day was the mini habitat outside. There was mud everywhere! 

Playing with mud and getting dirty can be a daunting experience for some and it was great to see children breaking through that barrier and have fun!

Rocky Shore

Today we had a magnificent trip to the Rocky Shore at Spriggs Park in Napier. The rain stayed away and the water was warm; we couldn't have asked for better weather for our adventure. 

We were joined by the National Aquarium team, who talked to us about safety, and following our seashore care code when looking for sea creatures in the water and under rocks. We were then set loose (with boundaries) to discover. 

It was an amazing time to witness Ruma Waru children in a new environment and to see some beat their fear of the unknown and touching small creatures. 

Your children will be able tell you a story about what they were doing in our photos below. Enjoy!

Thank you to our amazing parent helpers. Without you this trip couldn't have happened.
