These kids are just magic all dressed up from their dress up box. Was so much fun seeing what we could create with the clothes from in the box!

New Toys!!

We are so excited to have some new toys in Piako Rua this week!! A fabulous dolls house with lots of furniture and a LEGO table to build and create on!!
The children are loving playing together with them in the mornings :)

A house made of blocks!

This is our house we made out of blocks. We loved the chance to get creative and make a house for the dinosaur!

Opt In Magnets on Friday

These are some of the things we got up to in our opt ins on Friday. We learnt some many things about magnets and LOVED the chance to have play around for ourselves with the iron sand! Check out some of the photos!

Welcome back to Piako Rua

We have been so excited to have you all back at school with us. We are very proud of every single one of our students, in how they have transitioned back into the school routine. They have really enjoyed slowing things down and singing songs during hand washing times. Thank you for your flexibility and patience with us. We really appreciate it! - Piako Rua Teachers
