Tuesday's Themes...

...were fitness, fun and challenge. Today the Patiki Team took part in a 'Sports Spectacular' organised by local sporting bodies, and run by a combination of 'specialists' and high school students. The children 'had a ball'- literally and figuratively! Look at them go...

Thursday's Theme...

...is Art..more specifically Animal Art. This term S23 have worked on two themes related to Animals; Under the Ocean Waves and, more recently, Insects. As part of these studies, the children completed Art activities related to these themes. Check out the results some of the children have produced, which now adorn our studio. Feel free to pop in and have a look :)
