Kia ora, haere mai and welcome to the Pukeko NEST blog. This blog has been created to enable you to connect with your child's learning as they begin their important journey at school. There is a literacy and maths page for you to better understand our programme, and continue the learning at home. We will post blogs regularly, so please check back often to see what your child has been learning. Nga mihi, Ann and Matt.

Yesterday, Charlotte's grandad brought in some puppies for the children to meet. All the children had a turn patting the puppies. What a great surprise for them all!

House Colours Day - Friday 11th March
This Friday (11th March), children can come to school wearing something in the colour of their school house. This can be a ribbon, a wristband a hat, a top or anything at all. The children will all have lunch together sitting in their houses. If your child doesn't have anything in their house colour, don't stress, that is no problem. Its just meant to be a fun day where the children can all get together in houses for the first time.

Learning Through Play - Bees
Today we had Scarlett, Luke, Tahlia and Eva visiting the Pukeko Nest.
A HUGE THANK YOU to Holly's mum Aletta, and Tahlia's mum Bridget for all your help!
Following on from their 'Wondering' of 'What do bees use their antennae for?' our learning centred around learning about the honey bee's anatomy.
They learned that a honey bee has a head, 5 eyes, a thorax, 4 wings, an abdomen, 6 legs, and a sting. They created bees out of mixed media for art, and created their own drawings. They also did a waggle dance, and honey bee rap. For science they recreated an accurate anatomy of a honey bee using playdough and pipe cleaners, and for technology they created a bee from recycled materials.
And the answer to their 'Wondering' was that bees use their antennae to feel, taste and check the temperature!
