Fun in the sun

It has been extremely hot in Westport during the last few weeks.  The last rain we had was a small shower in the middle of the night three weeks ago.  Today we had 22 degrees...but we were prepared!  All we needed was a hose and some clothes to get changed into. It was great fun!



Cooper's second visit

We made tool belts for letter T, here is Cooper modelling his!


Look at us!

There are so many of us now that we fit right around the tree!


Magic carpets!

These are the  magic carpets we made to go with our 'Mini beds' for the Westport Plunket Tree Festival.  Our tree is sponsored by Bradley's Furniture and will be put up on Monday.  Go and check it out and be sure to vote for us!

Pre-school visitor

We welcomed Estelle for her very first visit today!  Estelle starts at the beginning of Term 1. Estelle, we are  looking forward to you becoming a Shining Star!


A cardboard box...

Check this out...these boys came up with the idea of using this box like this - they also figured out they needed to work together and co-operate to keep it rolling.  Amazing work boys!


The video is awesome but I am unable to load it to the blog at this stage...
