A visit From the Fire Truck!

 Oanaka @ Riverside was lucky enough to get a visit from a fire truck today!!

We all dressed up as a 'hero' (because fire men are our heroes!)

The staff were good sorts and got into the dressing up!

Spiderman Luke!

 Thomas in his awsome tiger costume!

Connor wearing Thomas' undies over his pants! Good work!

Rock Star George!

Peguin Mace - Adorable!

Michael wearing his cape

George gets a ride in the Fire truck!

The Kahu kids get to go up into the fire truck and have a look around!

 The fire man showed us where all the fire hoses were kept

After the fire men came and talked to us about fire safety, they drove the fire truck passed the fence, with the sirens going!

We all stood at the fence and watched and waved as the fire truck drove by!

What a great day it was!

The new vege garden!

 While the Kea and Kahu rooms have been watching the concrete trucks and the building going on in the washing line area, the Weka room have been having a bit of fun themselves - with paint! 

 

"Do I have paint on my face?"

It looks like Connor is enjoying the painting!

After a hard days painting, a decent rest is in order! 

Meanwhile, over the fence......

 The new vegetable garden is getting made!

Going through everything with a fine tooth comb, making sure that everything is in order! 

Then it got even more exciting when the concrete truck came to visit!

These guys got front row seats! 

We also had to make a ramp at the edge of the sand pit and we were allowed to put out feet and hand print in  the concrete! 

The finished product.

Next came all the stones! 

Luckily we had so many great helpers to get the stones over the fence into the washing line/vege garden area! 

"Bob the builder, can we fix it?!"

April - May 2011

The Weka room children have been enjoying the new swiss ball and mini trampoline! 

We have some new 'themed' boxes in the Kahu room full of florist and hairdressing equipment - the children have loved getting  really involved in it!   

After a week or so in the Weka room, the trampoline made it over the fence to the big playground - the children over here have also throughly enjoyed having a bounce on it! 

The children in both the Kea and Kahu rooms have really been enjoying partaking in mat times. The kahu room do a music time in the afternoons which the children have really been getting into! They love to sing and dance!!
