Harold, Easter + Pumpkins!

Harold has been parked at school since last week and we have all been very excited about getting our turn to go and see him. Today the Forest readers got to go for their first session! It was a lot of fun and very exciting. We learnt all about healthy foods. I have some photos but I'll save them up for tomorrow so we don't ruin the surprise for the Ocean readers! Tomorrow the Forest readers will get their second session, and the Ocean readers will get to go twice!

Easter fun continued today as well. We made some cute little Easter baskets shaped like a rabbit - they even have a fluffy tail! We have left them at school... if we're lucky the Easter Bunny might just pay a visit later in the week.... :)

Finally I have some community news about pumpkins!

Remember when we went to see the giant King Pumpkin down at the community garden? There is going to be a pumpkin competition on at the garden at 4pm on Sunday April 12th. There are a few exciting things going on for this!  There will be a colouring competition - keep your eyes out for this as we'll try send them out through school in the next couple of days. Also there will be a carving competition. If you would like to try a pumpkin carving there will be pumpkins available at the garden from next Tuesday for you to take home, carve, then bring back on the 12th for judging at the competition. It would be awesome to have lots of Pikopiko families involved :)
