TUI and MEGA MITRE 10 Garden Competition Finalist 2011

2011-11-22T20:26:00.004+13:00

THis year we decided to enter into the TUI and Mega Mitre 10 School Garden Challenge because we would be doing the gardening anyway so why not share our gardens with others. When we entered we received a voucher to redeem at Mega Mitre 10 for some lovely garden products. We sent in regular updates to TUI to show them what we were doing in the garden and how our garden was growing. We received news early November that we had been chosen as a 'FINALIST' and that our garden would be judged in November. On November 17th, Lianne, from TUI Products came to kindergarten to judge our garden and present us with a 'Finalist Certificate. Carlos received the certificate because he is one of the main helpers in the garden. Lianne also gave us another voucher for garden tools, 4 Gardening Books, and a 6 month subscription for KIDS magazine. WOW!!! How lucky we are at Bayview Kindergarten.

Then we sang I Wish I Was, The Playdough Song, Mrs Bunny, Kindy Rock Twist (we invited everyone to join in), and we finished off with The National Anthem. What a fabulous day it was. Everyone had so much fun - young and old. We love Grandparents Day at Bayview. xxx

TUI and MEGA MITRE 10 Garden Competition

2011-08-28T16:48:00.006+12:00

We have entered the TUI and MEGE MITRE 10 School Challenge Garden Competition 2011. We received a voucher from Tui and Mega Mitre 10 for heaps of 'free stuff' which kindergartens are always wanting due a permanent lack of funds. We got a spade, 3 trowells, a hose, hose fittings, a sprinkler, bags of garden mix and seed raising mix, seed raising trays. We are very grateful for all this garden stuff. We also got a huge box of lovely vegetable seedlings from Zealandia Horticulture free. WOW, we are very lucky. The children have been planting out lettuce and mustard plants so far but we have beans, spring onions, beetroot, and lots of silverbeet still to plant. The weather is great so it should happen next week. :)

Installing our Rainwater Storage Tank

2011-08-15T20:19:00.004+12:00

Last Friday (12th August) Glenn the Plumber came to kindergarten to install our rainwater tank. He plumbed a pipe from the spouting to the tank, put an overflow pipe to the storm water drain just in case we don't use the water quick enough, put in two taps - one higher up so the children can get a bucket underneath and one lower at the bottom of the tank that we also want to install a hand pump and half barrel up to in time. We will use the rainwater to fill our water trough for children's play and for watering our garden. What a great way to recycle rainwater. We can't wait for the tank to fill so we can start using the rainwater. Thank you Glenn.

We decided to make the Rewena Paraoa Bread (Potato Bread) again this year to have as a part of our 'feast' at our Matariki Celebration. It has taken us 4 days to make the bread and many children have taken part in the process over the 4 days; be it peeling and chopping potatos, or measuring ingrediants to make the dough on Day 4. The bread was yummy!!!

March saw us introduce Lucky and Nugget to their new home. The chickens are Brown Shavers. They live out the back at kindergarten and have a coup called the Bayview Hilton Chicken Coup. They eat special chicken food and love our scraps. We are getting an egg a day. We will be cooking with these lovely free range eggs. These chooks were rescued from a Battery Hen house. They are so happy to be with us. We would like to thank Sophie and her family for lending them to us.

The Fire Fighters from Albany Fire Station came and visited us today. They talked to us about keeping safe when a fire happens.

Noah got to dress up as a Fire Fighter and we all got a turn at squirting the water in the hose. Thank you for visiting us.

2011-02-26T21:10:00.002+13:00

February 25th 2011: TOday we held our annual 'FEAR FACTOR' day for the Morning children; with help from many parents who devised foods, smells, tactile experiences, and a blindfold 'trust' circuit, that would challenge the children and put them out of their 'comfort zone'. The teachers made up the 'scary shed' once again, and invited a 'witch' to take up residence for the morning (on the condition that she left immediately after the session). Thank you to everyone who helped to make this morning the success that it always is. The children were challenged; and they certainly rose to the challenge.

Mr Bean Seed November 5th

2010-11-06T14:46:00.003+13:00

November 5th: Mr Bean Seed in the vase is growing in the vase pressed against wet serviettes. No soil.....only wet paper. Two seeds are growing; unfortunately one of the plants got broken. See them in the photo.

Mr Bean

2010-11-06T14:26:00.006+13:00

Mr Bean Seed growing in a vase:

October 19th: We are watching to see if a Scarlet Runner climbing bean seed can grow in a glass vase pressed between the glass and some wet serviettes. We need to keep the serviettes wet. The bean seed has no soil. Will it grow?????

November 4th: Mr Bean seed in the vase is growing very nicely. All three are growing (unfortunately i broke the stalk of one but the other two are doing fine - one better and taller than the other). Interesting isn't it that a seed will grow with water alone......no soil.

Today some children drew a still-life drawing of Mr Bean Seed. Hannah drew the picture above. Hannah said, "This is Mr Bean. He is growing so tall. And he will grow so big".

Neve also drew Mr Bean Seed. Neve said, "This is Mr Bean. Mr Bean is growing in a jar. He has got roots for pushing up out of the water. He has leaves. He pushes up into the sun to grow. The seed opens up". Pretty amazing words, thinking, and observations from Neve.

We will continue to watch Mr Bean Seed and measure his growth.

Jump Rope For Heart Jump-a-thon November 2010

2010-11-06T14:17:00.003+13:00

This year we earned and were presented with the GOLD HEALTHY HEART AWARD being the very first early childhood centre in the North Island to receive a GOLD award. Our Kindergarten Philosophy is about keeping healthy through lots of Active Movement and Eating Healthy too. We enjoyed participating in the Jump-a-thon. Children brought in gold coins which will go to the NZ Heart FOundation. Thank you everybody!

Learning about the KAKAPO

2010-11-04T08:52:00.006+13:00

The children have been learning about KAKAPO as part of the Kakapo Recovery Programme, the theme of this year's Kindergarten Awareness Month. Last October 26th, we had a great opportunity to skpye with a ranger from the Department of Conservation in the far away Codfish Island to ask questions and learn more about the endangered native bird called kakapo. It was an exciting experience for the children and even the adults at Bayview Kindergarten!

Setting up our compost bin.

2010-08-14T13:20:00.002+12:00

We set up the compost bin with a keen group of children today. We need to start making our own compost now because it is a way of recycling the children's kai time waste and other garden waste. We have had some beautiful new raised vegetable garden boxes built this term so we are going to need some compost to make our vegetables grow well. The children really enjoy this type of gardening activity. It is teaching them lifelong skills at the same time.

Waste Recycling System Set Up

2010-08-14T13:13:00.002+12:00

We have set up a system for the children to recycle their kai time waste. Their is ice cream containers for the various waste, be it for the compost bin, bread waste for the bird feeder, or rubbish bin waste. The system is working well.

Lunchbox Talk

2010-08-14T13:03:00.002+12:00

Thank you to the mum's and dad's for keeping to our healthy food policy. Treats are OK at home and special occasions. :)

2010-05-07T20:00:00.002+12:00

Earlier in the week Emma asked Kathy and me "if we could make muffins like we did last time?". How could we say no??. We decided that Friday would be a good day because we have a longer session which would give us plenty of time for baking. On Thursday we picked rhubarb from the kindergarten vegetable garden which Emma and friends, Natalie and Maia, washed, chopped, and cooked, ready to add to a muffin if desired. We also picked and chopped up spinach from our garden to add.........

Whale Rider - the book.

2010-05-07T19:53:00.002+12:00

This week we have read the story about 'Whale Rider' to the Morning Children; a Chapter a day. This is a complicated story for 4 yr olds to understand, with some big, difficult, words. We have been amazed by how much understanding our children have of some of these words, and how able they are to articulate their understanding..............
