Welcome to Kiwi 2015.

What a fantastic week we had in Kiwi last week.  Week one is always tiring on the kids and none more so than the little ones that are just starting school.  

We will be continuing to get to know the children working in Kiwi over the next few weeks as well as you the parents.  On Tuesday evening there is a Keeping Ourselves Safe information evening at school, followed by meet the teacher.  We look forward to seeing you all there. 

If you haven't already, please head over to the school webpage and sign up for the fortnightly newsletter to be emailed to you.  There is also a Willowbank Facebook page you can follow to keep up to date with what is going on at school.  

Regards, 

Gina and Renee. 

The Science of Christmas...

For all those little scientists and children that question everything, these scientist have found the answers we have been thinking about ourselves... 

I hope you all enjoy this as much as I did!  I'm so glad I understand more now about Christmas.

Baby T Rex

We had a wee visitor today.  Actually he was a rather large visitor as far a babies go...  Baby T-Rex came to visit team 3.  He was a little unpredictable and rather vocal but the kids seemed to enjoy their time with him.  
Here are a couple of photos from our encounter with Baby T-Rex.

FRIDAY SWIMMING CANCELLED

Due to our current concerns with the tummy bug, Otara pools have asked us to keep our children back from swimming this week as a precaution, so we don't spread our germs.
