Trip to the Rose Garden































Last Wednesday the 3rd of March, Rie an I took Eneri, Issac, Charlie and Donnagh down to the Rose Gardens in Marewa. This was part of Rie's studies, where she had to extend on the children's interests. These boys love bugs, spiders, cockroaches and any other creepy crawlies they can find! We left at 1pm and walked down Kennedy Road. We saw road works and concretors on the way, and stopped to have a look and take some photos. When we arrived at the rose garden, the children grabbed a little spade each and started exploring the environment. We found some snail shells and worms, but unfortunetly not any roches or big bugs. We think that it may have been too hot and dry. Regardless of that though, the children really enjoyed the outing.... sniffing and seeing the colourful roses, climbing the big pile of bark, running around in the open grass area, discovering new things in the environment, reaching around a gigantic tree.. ohh and seeing Issac's uncle on the walk home. Great trip organised there Rie.

Hi guys The Gallaghers here.Donnagh had a mighty time on the trip to the rose gardens with all the other "BIG" boys.He let us know that he walked all the way there and back(very chuffed).Donnagh also talked about all of the boys joining hands and hugging a big tree,(greenpeace here i come!!!)Donnagh likes playing with the boys and we think its important that he gets exposed to some "big boy time" and his confidence grows...nice job Rie.
Cheers The Gallaghers.

heya.. It's Gina Isaac's mum...Just wanted to say thanks to Rie for initiating the neat outing to the rose gardens. Isaac was in his element searching and exploring for bugs with the boys, he is always coming home and talking about finding all sorts of bugs at daycare with his friends so just thought that was a neat extension to that!!And an added bonus he got to show everyone Nan's house and saw uncle Levi on the way.

thanks Rie : - )
