Tantalising Lemon Muffins

Recipe page personalized with Smilebox

Mandy has some renovations going on at her house at the moment and mentioned to some children how she likes to make muffins for the builders to enjoy each Friday. Grace wanted to taste one of Mandy's home baked muffins and so Mandy said she would try to remember to bring some in. Unfortunately, there was only enough for the builders and so we decided to make some of our own muffins 'Learning Curves style'.


Mandy thought that this was an awesome opportunity for the children to learn using all of their senses and by participating within the process - it is good to learn by 'doing'. Learning stories will be added to the portfolios of the children involved but in the mean time, please take a moment to view the photos.


As always, we appreciate any comments in the box below.

Our most popular songs

Following our visit to Arahoe Primary's school assembly, two of the songs the children saw performed have now become firm favourites. The chorus lines in both songs are very catchy and repeatative. The two songs are 'Ice Baby' by Vanilla Ice and Justin Bieber's 'Baby.'

Sonny's Special Day

Sonny was making so much noise and so Maree had a quick look to see if he was ok. She thought he'd like a nice basin of water to splash around in and off she went to see what she could find.

Moments later she was back and added a nice ensuite to Sonny's cage. Good job he had a bath because soon afterwards Sonny had a visitor. He can be a very naughty bird sometimes, especially when he splashes everyone. Have a look at his video to see how much he enjoyed it:

Out and About in our Community

We have been very lucky with the weather this week. Winter is upon us and it is cold but not wet and so we made the most of the fine weather with a visit to our friends at Learning Curves in Kinross Street. We caught a bus to Blockhouse Bay and while there we popped in to visit Josh and Jiya's mum in her place of work. We received a very warm welcome and we were also fortunate to meet Om's Grandad. Have a look at our news letter and tell us what you think:

Maree's 70's and 80's Birthday Celebration

Our Blog's Make-over

While practicing my Blogging skills on the weekend I discovered how easy it is to give our blog a new look and in line with our current programme I found a template that has a nature feel to it. I hope you like it... Any comments would be much appreciated and I can always change it back again if need be. Stay tuned as we will be updating our Blog soon with useful information and of course more stories and pictures, thanks to the children of Learning Curves. If you have any trouble adding a comment to any of our posted Blog updates the teaching team will help you. It is very easy after the first time. Hope to see you during the week ahead, Mandy
