Thank you Mummy and Sean for bringing Sidney to show us. We learnt he likes to eat crickets, apples, pears and beans but he doesn't like bananas. When he's scared he flattens his body to make hime look bigger and when he's angry he puffs out his beard. When he gets upset he goes totally black. He has holes for ear lobes and long toes for climbing. His hearing is so acute, he is scared of aeroplanes when they fly over Sean's house.Today Sidney is lovely and calm.

A Team of Rescuers

The team of rescuers that helped to save a baby bird that we believe fell from a nest and was separated from its mother today. Led by Martha, team leader of the rescue mission, we called SPCA for help that dispatched a friendly lady to help with our rescue mission.

The baby bird will be brought to 'The Bird Lady' to be cared for and although won't be returned to it's mother it will live with a new family of birds until it is big enough to fly free.

Thank you to the SPCA for helping us today. For more information about SPCA and the work that they do, please ring (09) 256 7300 or hit the link: http://www.spca.org.nz/default.aspx#2



The rescued bird that would have perished had it not been for a very observant and interested child at Learning Curves.

Happy Father's Day Night

Thank you to the Dads and Granddads that could make it to our Father's Day Evening.
It was an opportunity for us to talk about the things dear to our hearts, your children, in an informal, relaxed environment.

Your handy work has become part of Learning Curves' History and will remain for many years to come.

 

Thank you to Gerald, an ex-Dad from our centre. Your skills and knowledge are invaluable and we appreciate you sharing them with us to make this a special evening for the Dads and Granddads of today's Learning Curves.

Individual photos will be added to your child's/grandchild's blog.

Jo's Whiwhi Tohu Matauranga

Today was a special day for our Jo. Ann and co at Learning Curves had arranged a surprise for her. Next week will be her graduation, a big day for her, and today was her Maori graduation, a day of honour that became somewhat overwhelming for her.

Carole, Jo's lecturer from Unitec, came with special gifts for Jo to thank her for all her help that she had offered to her fellow students throughout her time as a student at Unitec. A fitting tribute was recorded below for our colleague as we attempted to share a special day with her.

Congratulations Jo, we are SO VERY proud of you and thank you Carole and Kahukura for making this day so memorable for Jo and the rest of us.

This is one of our favourite songs........

Motoka ite rawe e. We hope you enjoy our performance.

TJ delivers sand to top up our sandpit......

There are no shortage of helpers as Eddie, Liam, Alex and friends load up the wheel barrows and transfer the sand from the trailer to the sandpit. The ramp at times proved a challenge, but kiwi ingenuity came to the fore and they managed to find their own solutions. Thank you for all your hard work! Our sandpit looks impressive now.

St. Dominics School Visit

Personalize a free scrapbooking design

On Thursday, 30th June, 2011, we took fourteen children to visit St. Domincs school. The children were given the opportunity to participate in a class programme, and experience a morning in the life of a school child. This helps them to be prepared for school when they start. The children had a great time!

What to do on a Sunny Wintry Day!

On Monday the 27th June the children made a swimming pool in the sandpit and with out thinking they spontaneously jumped right in! What a lot of fun the children had. They were discovering how high to jump and who made the biggest splash. It was a very hot morning, even though it was a cold night. It's great to see the children taking the lead in their own learning experiences!
