WEEK 4 Term 4 Blog Post for Kakano 8

 Week 4 Notices

Welcome to week 4!

We were all very excited to welcome four new chicks into our Kakano class last week.  Our four new chickens are doing well and have been showered in love since hatching.

Kowhai and Tahi moved into their new home outside last week.  They love scratching around in the dirt looking for bugs and exploring.  It has been great watching the children talk to, and observe the chooks as they play.  Thank you to Mrs Thomson and the children for constructing the new Chicken House, you all make wonderful builders.
