Flat white anyone? They were the best coffees of the week.<\/div>

Pirates<\/b><\/div>
Ahoy pirates. The past two weeks we have had a focus on pirates. We learned how to talk like pirates, the type of music they like, finding buried treasure, how to make maps, write character descriptions .... the list goes on.<\/div>

<\/div>

Walk the plank.<\/div>

Every pirate needs a hat.<\/div>

Thank You<\/b><\/div>
Koru team recently received a donation to use in any way to support the children. We were keen to purchase items that were durable and would support Learning Through Play. The water tray was put to great use this week, the dolls have had many outings and the children have shown 'We Care' with them in their imaginative play. The Bluetooth Speakers have helped us sing and dance on many an occasion, and the Duplo has many purposes, only limited by our imaginations.<\/div>

<\/div>
We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to the anonymous donor. We were humbled by your generosity and very excited to add to our Learning Through Play resources. <\/div>
