Fiordland Kindergarten Tiki Tour

Today we went to Kindy to read some books to our friends. We had great fun seeing our friends and old teachers again. We felt really happy sharing our stories with them. It was great to have a play with our friends who are going to be coming to school soon. Room 8 are great 'bucket fillers' by being kind and caring to the younger children. 

Trout Observatory and DOC centre Tiki Tour

We went to the Trout Observatory and we saw rainbow trout and brown trout. We saw fresh water crayfish too. It costs $2 to get in and we had to push the bar to get in. We counted nine trout.  Then we went to the DoC centre and saw a model of a big ship, a map, a Kakapo and a Takahe with two eggs. 

Tumble Time Tiki Tour

Room 8 loved going to Tumble Time this week. Everyone had fun exploring how to use all of the different equipment and learned about the different ways of moving our bodies. 

Bottsy's Garage Tiki Tour

Today we went to visit Bottsy's Garage. We saw a truck going up on a hoist. It went up very high, even higher than Bottsy. Bottsy showed us a car's engine and how to check the oil. We saw a car lifter out the back. We counted to 45 when it was lifted up but it only took to 31 on the way back down. There was an old blue motorbike and a red racing car too. Bottsy showed us how to put a tyre on a wheel. It made a popping sound when it was getting filled up and a sssssssssing sound when the air came out. Bottsy's tool box was red and really big. It was full of metal tools like spanners. We tried on the ear muffs and they made people sound really weird. Bottsy and Mel gave us each a key ring.

Spider Net Tiki Tour

Room 8 went to Lion's Park and climbed up the spider net. We had to use our feet and hands to pull ourselves up. Some of us were really great at climbing to the top already. Libby and Ronan climbed to the top for their very first time. They showed amazing courage and determination to do something new. From the very tippy top of the spider net we could see the mountains and the lake. 

Ssslithering sssnakes

Room 8 has being learning the 's' sound this week. Listen to us as we pretend to be slithering snakes sliding down the slide.

Jumping Pillow Tiki Tour

We all bounced on the Jumping Pillow. It felt like we were going to space. There were lots of different colours on it. Green was the hottest colour. When we lay down and listened it sounded like thunder. The jumping pillow was fun. Boing! Boing! Boing!
