We learnt that ‘Red’ is a lucky colour in China and on the eve of the new year, children receive red envelopes containing money from family and friends. This is to help them prosper in life. This year is the Year of the Sheep/Goat/Ram. Children were invited to create collage sheep, using patty pans, and black paper for their legs, head, ears and tail. Some children made dumplings with the play dough and then later sold them at group time. Children talked about going to the Lantern festival, making dumplings at home, and dressing in traditional

Our Beach Day 26th Feb 2015 At the beginning of the year, we thought it would be a good idea to organise a beach trip. This would help children and their families to settle into the Beachcomber environment. We distributed a newsletter, poster and map informing families of the event. On the day, we had a lovely morning at Cockle Bay Beach with lots of Beachcomber families. Children explored the beach and found lots of interesting shells and seaweed. Some children found crabs under the rocks. After morning we went on an expedition to find the thumb print of Manawatere under the big pohutukawa tree. Some children enjoyed cooling off by playing in the water. It looks like everyone had a very happy time playing at the beach. Thank you for coming along and joining us. |
