The Kindy Room Having a ”Whale” of a Time!
During July we had great excitement as a tohora, whale got stranded on our local beach over the weekend.
A lot of our tamariki went out to see it and came back the next day to share some exciting stories. There were video clips for those that couldn’t see it themselves and this led to some great learning.
We read some stories like the 'Little Yellow Digger and the Whale', and 'The Whale and the Snail', all to shed a bit more light on the subject. We then had the children help colour in a big drawing of a tohora which we put on our wall, and the children made smaller ones to take home. In the sandpit boys used the diggers to “save the whales”. What a great learning experience it was!
