SUE the T.Rex


On Friday 21st November the Morning Session went to see ' SUE the T.Rex' at the Auckland Museum. Sue is ENORMOUS!!! Sue is the best preserved, most complete T.Rex skeleton ever uncovered in the world. She is at Auckland Museum until March 2009.If you get the chance, go and see her. You won't be disappointed.

Making the Betasuchus



The children have been interested in Dinosaurs lately. Jared brought in a fantastic Dinosaur book, and decided it would be fun to make a Betasuchus - an ancient type of crocodile. Here Jordan and Emma are painting the Betasuchus.

Fear Factor Day

Friday 7th March we held our annual Fear Factor Day. This is the scary Shed. There was a real Witch in the shed. The children went outside their comfort zone by going inside and the witch wanting to have them for her pudding.
We have very Brave children at Bayview Kindergarten.

Setting up our blog site

Rather than celebrating St Patrick's Day, we decided to learn how to set up a blog. Here you can see us watching Ian show us how easy it is to set up our blog. Over the next few months we shall be telling you how we are getting on. We will be letting you all know what the children are getting up to and they will be helping us with our posts!
