Matariki Activities

We made beautiful, colourful, Matariki beaded stars to hang in and decorate our classroom with....





YOGA

As part of our 'Physical Active' focus...last week we had a special visit from Michelle a yoga teacher who came in to do some fun kids yoga with us. What an awesome experience!! Michelle did some breathing techniques with us and then took us on a pirate adventure. We did the yoga moves throughout the experience as we scrubbed the deck, climbed the ladder, set the sail and looked out for treasure island. We pretended to be like a still rock, a wobbling jellyfish, snappy crab and bubble blowing fishy's. Such a fun way of introducing yoga to our Phoenix House Children and trying out a new way of exercising and keeping ourselves healthy and fit!

Bird feeder fun

We have so many birds in our backyard that live in the big tree in the middle of the playground..we decided it could be a fun idea to make some little bird feeders to give our bird friends a snack.
