Discovery Time


At discovery time on Fridays we are learning so many key skills.    The children are loving the opportunity to explore and create as they try new things.  Each week we have a focus skill to help achieve success.



Parents and caregivers are welcome to come and see Discovery Time in action on Fridays from 9.10 until 10.20.

Look at some of the activities we have been doing.

Hairy Maclary



We went to the Museum to see the Lynley Dodd expedition to celebrate Hairy Maclary's birthday.  We had lots of help from our parents to explore the pictures from the books.  We spent time talking about the dogs and studying the pictures on the wall.

After we looked around, we all got the chance to sketch part of any picture we liked.  We worked hard to complete our pictures using Nicky's special art pencils. We also got to share ideas about the different dogs we could see in the display.
