Easter Time

The children at Oanaka @ Riverside have been partaking in a few easter activites. We have been painting a lot of eggs and making Hot Cross Buns! yummmm

Seeing as its also autumn time, we went hunting for some of the beautful leaves that have fallen off the trees, and made our very own tree.

The Weka room have been having fun watching the new bunny rabbit Sooty. He likes to squeeze under the gate and explore the infants room playground - I think it must be lot calmer for him in there than out in the big kids playground!

March - April!

Welcome to the newest member of the Oanaka @ Riverside Crew - Sooty the Bunny Rabbit! 

 Sooty is almost two months old and arrived from Dunedin in the weekend, he lived in this cage for a few nights before arriving at Educare! 

 Then he was introduced to our resident Guinea pig, Jed. They hit it off straight away!

                                       

 The children were all very excited to take a peek at Jed and Sooty playing together! 

 It turns out, Sooty is very adventurous and left the hutch to explore the playground! 

 Then Jed decided it was safe and he followed his new friend out into the playground as well! The children were all very good at sitting or lying down and waiting until the bunny or guinea pig came up to them. We don't want to scare them so they don't come out to visit us anymore! 

Some were even lucky enough to get a hold - Sooty really liked all the gentle pats he got - he even closed his eyes and had a wee nap at one point!
