Trip to Bardowie and ANIMALZ










As part of continuing our relationship with Bardowie Retirement home, Ainslee, Debbie and Meghan (Year 2 Student), visited with a group of children last week. We took a basket full of yummy cakes to share for morning tea, as well as our singing voices. They always love to hear the children sing songs. They even request certain ones! Some of the older girls had also made 3 collages of the ‘Royal Wedding’, and shared them around the room, and talked about that they had made.


After our visit to Bardowie, we continued on our walk to ANIMALZ, to visit the animals and buy some straw for our guinea pig. We saw a blue budgie like the new one we have, as well as the big bearded dragon lizard. While we were there, we saw a shaggy dog getting a hair cut, which was a bit funny!


Children develop an awareness of the connections between the early childhood centre and the wider community. They develop confidence in going on outings and enjoying different experiences away from the centre (Te Whariki).
