I can ....

Scott's base group visited Autahi this week and shared our thoughts about what we are confident doing.



Some children worked on art, others on music, and lots of students started to build structures.


We are going to keep building on our strengths but also begin to identify what we can't do yet!

新年快樂 Happy New Year!

This week we are learning and celebrating Chinese New Year! It is the year of Rooster.

We watched this video on Tuesday about WHY people celebrate this special event.





We will also learn a song called Gong Xi Gong Xi.
The title of this song, 恭喜恭喜(Gōng xǐ gōng xǐ) means "Congratulations, Congratulations". But in the song it has the meaning "Good wishes to you for a happy and prosperous New Year". 




There are some events in the weekend in Wellington City such as fireworks and special art/music performances.
Check out this link to find out more!

We wish you a very happy 'rooster' year!


Here is something extra if you want to find out more about Chinese Zodiac:
Wanwan is a dragon, what are you?

Team building


We are learning how to work in a group. We decided that we need to discuss, listen, share, compromise, reach an agreement and include others who are on their own. We had fun building all sorts of things in Autahi.

Inside playtime





Today was so wet that we had to play inside at lunch time. We played with the blocks, lego, dress ups, drew pictures, read books and made up games of our own. The teachers were impressed and relieved at the way we cleaned up afterwards!
