Phoenix House Birthdays!

A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Nelson who turned 4years old on the weekend and to Cooper who turned five! We hope you both had a lovely birthday spent with your friends and family :)

Cooper we wish you all the best with your school adventure! Be sure to come visit us and tell us all about what learning you get up to while at school.

Cooper and Nelson both shared at Mat-time yesterday what they did for their birthday's and the children had the opportunity to ask questions about their weekend festivities! :)

Pyjama and Movie Day!

We couldn't have asked for better weather with having our Pyjama and Movie Day! The Phoenix House children are all rugged up and ready to relax watching some of their favourite movies :)

Phoenix House Disco!

The Phoenix House disco was a great success! We had a fun filled day where we created our morning tea by making 'Disco Ball Biscuits' with icing and sprinkles, had fun dancing and playing musical chairs/statues and in the afternoon we spent some time at the arts and crafts table making our very own disco ball using glue and glitter :)

Sports Day!

Today the Phoenix House walked down to the Howick Domain where we did a number of fun sport activities which included throwing, catching, kicking and running around :) We had LOTS of fun and we will be sure to do it again soon!~

Baking Day!

29th September 2015

Today the Phoenix House kicked off the School Holidays by having a Baking Day! This morning we made some delicious jam biscuits for afternoon tea which were sooo yummy!
The children conveyed fantastic turn taking skills throughout this activity and shared stories with their friends and teachers of what goodies they bake at home with their mummy's and daddy's. We definitely have some Baker's in the making amongst the Phoenix House :)

Making Lemonade

This week we made some delicious Lemonade!...We had lots of lemons to squeeze and our Phoenix House children were so good at sharing the different jobs in the activity. 

We used lemons, honey and water to make our tasty lemonade and put it in the fridge to cool overnight. We drank it for morning tea and it was delish!!

New Bikes!!

This week we got some super cool new bikes at KCC! They are balance bikes and all of our Phoenix and Kowhai House children love to zoom around the playground on them!!
