Kinder Superstars were very excited to be back at school after our holidays.  It had been a busy last few weeks of term 2 for us and we were all looking forward to some sleep ins over the holiday break.  Before heading off on our well earned holiday rest, Kinder Superstars had been busy getting out and about in our playground, building campsites, discovering and smashing ice, cooking up treats in our kitchen and constructing sandpit cities.

We also had our first Molesworth Environment Centre (MEC) excursion.  We had a blast heading out into the bush, discovering scats, fungi and tasting Trish’s bush damper for the first time.  We were all excited and proud of taking on the challenge of the rope bridge.

A highlight of term 2 was collecting the 5c pieces and Kinder Superstars embraced this challenge with gusto.  It was with great delight we took out the top honour and raised so much money for such a good cause.

Term 3 has started busy, and with great enthusiasm.  Our special cushions have been sent home.  Children have hand sewn their initial into hessian, as well as frayed the edges and used the sewing machine to put it altogether.  They are very proud of their efforts.

We were also greeted with a surprise visitor - the ‘egg’ had returned to our class.  But it was so much bigger than before. Children were adamant they could hear scratching from inside the egg, and that it surely must be close to hatching.  We were excited to see how much it had grown, and got thinking about how much we have grown since being a little baby.  

Children shared their ideas about what people need to feel safe, happy and healthy … so they can grow to the best of their ability.  We also spent the week curious about the size of things around us.  So we got busy measuring - of particular interest was how tall we all are.

It’s been a wonderful start to term 3, and we are excited to see the continued growth and confidence of our amazing Kinder Superstars.
