Mosaic Art

The weather has been lovely lately!  The sun is shining and we have been enjoying spending some time outdoors!  

What better way to celebrate the arrival of the sunny weather than by doing some mosaic art!  

Here we are working on our sun pictures!  These are still not finished but when they are we would love for you to pop in and see them!

Ruben the Road Safety Bear

On Tuesday we were lucky enough to have Ruben the Road Safety Bear join us and share his knowledge of Road Safety.  The playcentre joined in the learning also.

We learnt to 'Stop, Look, Listen and Link'

Mihi Video

In Room 1 we practice saying a short Mihi before we share our news every day.
Here is a video of us having a go at saying our mihi.

Team Players

In room one we focus on the key competencies and what it means to be a Hinni Kid.

We have been focusing on what it means to be a team player and how we can play nicely together.  One of the ways we can do that is by sharing.  We have been learning all about sharing, how we can share and how it makes us feel when we share.

Today we read a book all about sharing:

We then practiced our sharing skills...

We know that if we would like something we need to use our manners to ask.  For example we can say "Can I please play with that?"  we know it is ok and to be patient if someone replies "No sorry I am still playing with it, you can have it after me".

What are some of the other ways you share?
