Science is so Much Fun in Te Kākano!

Friday is an opportunity for our youngest akōnga to share some cool treasure from home, to tell us about it and answer questions!

Ollie has been really getting interested in Volcanoes and how they do what they do! Cool right!

So what better treasure to share with friends than your very own VOLCANO!!! What do we already know? What do we want to find out more about? What do you think will happen? What will it look, smell, sound like? How do we make it work? What if we miss one of the ingredients out?

Learn, Create, Share!

Everyone who wanted a turn got a go and lots of different colours were mixed for the larva flow - thank you so much Ollie (and of course Jess) for sharing your cool treasure with us!

Junior Hui - This week's Certificate Earners!

Ka pai everyone who earned their certificate this week!

ALL Te Kākano are HERO's every day!

Who will be next?

Kawa of Care for our DLO's (Digital Learning Objects!)

All our resources will last longer if we take care of them - common sense right!

Even our youngest tamariki learn to be responsible and respectful with belongings.

Today we signed our iPad treaty to say 'WE WILL...' look after our iPad's and abide by the school rules to care for them!

We ARE Yaldhurst HERO's!

Just keep Swimming!

YMS is so incredibly lucky to have our own swimming pool here on site!

Everyone is enjoying lessons with instructors from Jelly Park pool in Christchurch.

The instructors love our tamariki and their awesome attitudes to learning a new skill or developing it further!

Ka pai lil fishys!

Class Trip to the City!

WOW! We had the best time on our class trip together.

We all met up at the fabulous library 'Tūranga' and our guide, Andrea, took us on a tour behind the scenes where we saw Fuschia's books actually being returned by the robots!

We played with the LEGO, explored the castle, saw a robot demonstration and had a story time too!

Tūranga is awesome!  We can't wait to go again with our whānau!

We finished up at Tūranga and headed over to have our kai at the Margaret Mahy playground and then we spent the rest of our time exploring, investigating and playing together :)

Thank you to all the amazing whānau who came and made our day even more special!

YMS Pet Day 2019 :)

What a cracker of a day at YMS!

We covered everything from Home Baking to Sand Saucers, Pet Stones, Soft Toys, Ponies, Hens, Budgies, Guinea Pigs, Cats, Dogs, Goats, Sheep and even Tadpoles!

We had class Hobby Horse racing and enjoyed a range of Agri-Sports including Grain Sack jumping, Hay Bale hurdles and Gumboot Wanging!

Our judges were totally amazing, giving their time to come and enjoy our lovely event with us - Thank you so, so much.
                                                                                                                                                               

Our friends from Norwood Farm Machinery brought over 2 enormous tractors for the day which really added a special note to the day too!

Massive thank you to everyone who played any part in such a successful day for our tamariki!
