Starters & Strategies - term 3 2007

It has taken me a little while to catch up with this one but as always it is worth a read. Best ideas for Discovery Time:

  • Using our gardens for play - suggests (among other things) building a bean teepee, making a bird feeder, a worm bin or just leaving a space of bare ground as a digging and general engineering area. Check out the Yates website.

  • Funky Eye Friday - let imaginations run wild creating, crazy, groovy and innovative eyewear. This was in conjunction with Royal NZ Foundation of the Blind - the actual date has past but hey it's a great idea.

  • BP Challenge - some information about the 2008 zoo challenge - creating an enrichment toy.
