Junky Monkey

Today we had a fantastic session of 'Junky Monkey'. We went to the field and had a talk about being safe and then we got to play! 

Here are some photos from the session.  We had to problem solve and communicate to share the equipment. We had so much fun creating.















It was great to see tamariki sharing and taking turns. We talked about having a plan for play and that it was important to play safely. Ruma Rima loved it!

A Big Surprise!

Today we had a big surprise at school! We all went out onto the field and waited for the surprise! After a few minutes we heard a loud sound! We looked up and saw the police helicopter. It flew down to land on our school field! 

Here is a video of the helicopter landing.

Here are a few pictures from the helicopter visit. It was very exciting!



We got to go closer and look inside the helicopter! 

We got to talk to the pilot.

We talked to the police officer too.




We watched the police helicopter take off as well! 



Then we went back to class and drew helicopter pictures and wrote stories! 
What an awesome surprise!








I love these helicopter pictures!
