Slumber Party in the Toddlers -19/06/2008

There was a slumber party in the Toddlers and all the children came with their pyjamas on and even the teachers were dressed up too. They all looked so cool. We turned off the lights and turned the party music on. D.J. Curtis spinned the c.d. with D.J. Louis. The children started dancing to the music. They laughed and giggled with each other and they danced in so many different ways and just enjoyed themselves. After dancing, a few children felt tired, so they decided to rest on the couch and enjoyed watching movies. The teachers prepared snacks for the children, such as chips, marshmallows, toast, muffins and fairy bread. We all had heaps of fun at the slumber party. See photos by clicking on the link below

Welcome to Rita and Michaella.

Slumber Party in the Nursery

We had lots of fun at the slumber party today. We danced, grooved to the music, read story books and watched d.v.d's while feeling warm and cosy in our pyjamas.
The children also enjoyed buttering their own slices of bread and making chippy sandwiches. We also had yummy ice cream with jelly and fruit salad for lunch.
See attached photos.

Warm Water Play in the Nursery

It was a nice fine morning on Tuesday - the sun was shining and all the Nursery children were outside. So we decided to have 'Warm Water Play.' The children were really excited as they watched the red water being poured into the trough. All the children went straight over to the nice warm water and started splashing it all around and pouring it into containers. Everyone had great fun splashing the warm water and getting very wet! See attached photos.

Molly's Wedding

Kia Orana everyone. I thought I would put some of my wedding photos up on the blog for everyone to see since I am getting lots of requests.
For those of you who do not know me I am one of the awesome Toddler teachers (Molly) and I recently got married in Rarotonga on May 23rd 2008. It was a beautiful sunny day and my husband and I, Morrie, were married on the beach, followed by a beautiful reception at the Sails Restaurant in Muri. We had lots of friends and family members come over and join us on our special day.
I hope you enjoyed looking out our wedding photos.
Kia Manuia (farewell)
