We had another great time with swimming today. It is so good to see everyone making such great progress.
For Discovery Time today we were learning to be curious. We had fun making pukekos come alive using colorApp on the iPads. We were building things with Lego and using the magnifying glasses to look at rocks. Mr D got the Mimio viewer out and we could see rocks up really close. It was lots of fun!
