PMP
Today was our first session of PMP for the year :) It is a fantastic programme that helps with gross motor skills, coordination, eye tracking, ball skills and is awesome for our brains as well. We had a brilliant time this morning - balancing, jumping, crawling, throwing, catching and more! Everyone participated and put in their best effort.

Down to the Community Garden!
We had such a fabulous morning today! We headed for a special walk (outside school!) down to the wonderful community garden. What an amazing time we had! We had a very special host who was sleeping in the teepee when we arrived...a scarecrow! She showed us all around the garden and played some games, then we got to help plant some cauliflower and broccoli. We also got to see the HUMONGOUS king pumpkin!
After that we had a special treat as one of our Pikopiko friends lives right next to the garden and has their own beehive, and an amazing treehouse! We were allowed to visit and have a wee climb in the house and check out the bees. Thank you for having us!
Thanks also so much to the adults who came along to give us a hand and the wonderful scarecrow who showed us around.
We were also allowed to take home some lovely tomatoes from the garden. We sat in the sunshine this afternoon and had a tomato feast!
Finally a thank you to the parents and families that came along to our open day today to see our learning space in action. It was great to see you.
Tomorrow we will be needing helpers for PMP so please stay around in the morning if you can!

Awesome Stations and Buzzing Bees
During our reading time in the Pikopiko team we have children working on a variety of literacy stations around the learning space. Today we noticed some children doing fabulous focused work at these stations! Well done to these people who made great choices and did some amazing independent learning today.
After lunch we went for a special walk to visit our brand new beehive and the bees up in the school garden. We talked about being super sensible and respectful of the bees' space. How exciting to see them buzzing around their home and visiting flowers!
Tomorrow we are also going to go for a walk to visit our community garden. We are looking forward to seeing the different things growing down there! Feel free to bring along a little watering can of your own if you have one :)

Computers, Cake and Counting!
We had a busy, fun day in Pikopiko today. During reading time we had our computers and ipads up and running for the first time. We could play phoneme pop on the computers to help to learn our sounds, and we practised our letter formations on the ipads.
After lunch we had a special treat. It was Ms Lennon's birthday on the weekend so Mrs Wilson kindly organised for us all to share a cake! Jo took some special helpers to bake a beautiful red velvet cake. Yum!
Finally this afternoon we got into our new maths groups. We did some great counting with beans and practised reading and writing numbers.
Great work everybody!
Parents we will be starting PMP this Thursday at 9am. We will need some parent helpers so please come along on Thursday if you can stay and assist :)
