Our Visit from Monty


On Friday 10th August 2012, we visited the National Aaquarium of New Zealand.  We got the opportunity to get up close and personal with a few of the residents that live there. We felt the skin of the Blue Tongue lizard and touched the shell of the Red Eared Teripin and the Chinese Box Tortoise.
All the children really enjoyed the hands on experience, feeling the different textures of their shells and skin. They learned how to handle the animals and were very gentle as they touched each one.
A big thankyou to all the staff of the Aquarium who sahred their knowledge and showed the children how to care for the animals, also to the educarers and parents who attended, I'm sure everyone had a great learning experience.

The children had fun at their Sports Day; we were so lucky the sun came out for us. There was balancing, jumping, we had the bean bag toss, we dressed up, had sack races and to cool off at the end there was dunking for apples. We finished the sports day off with a picnic under the trees. Everyone looked like they had a blast; we will have to do this again next school holidays.

Brylees Busy day at Audrey's

Enjoying a game of see-saw with Lucy - taking an interest in younger children within the play environment.



Revisiting learning journals.







Engaging in social skills, blowing bubbles with friend Dylan and Audrey.





Having a fun game of 'peek a boo'.


Its great to see you fully engaged in all aspects of play. By being involved Brylee is learning important life skills of being a compassionate individual, contributing to her learning programme, confident within her surroundings.
