Butterfly Garden Trip!!

We had the most amazing time going to visit such a special butterfly garden at
St Kentigern College.
Due to our current interest in butterflies and caterpillars this was a great way to extend the children's thoughts and ideas by learning new facts and new ways in which we can take care of our own swan plant at KCC.
We had lots of wonderful students from St Kents take us around the huge gardens and show us all the butterflies and caterpillars they had, we even saw a whole lot of chrysalis that will soon turn into some beautiful butterflies.
We even each had a turn of holding a real caterillar on our hands and inspect them up close, this was pretty special to experience.
Not only the excitement of the butterfly garden we began our trip by catching the public bus from Howick which we all thought was pretty cool and couldn’t wait to get on!

Learning to Measure

Last week Bex made us a leap frog resource...You need to hold the frog and jump as far as you can, then we measure the distance and record each persons name and distance on our chart. This is a fun way of introducing basic maths concepts, learning about distance, measurement and building on our gross motor skills...You were all excellent little leaping frogs :)
