This morning while we were all sitting at kotahitanga, a surprise visitor walked in the door, as I got up to meet Jacob's grandma I got a huge surprise when I looked in her basket.
A piglet was sitting in there looking up at me, so I shared with the children that there was someone special here to see us and carefully picked up the piglet. Āe mārika, How about that!
They were all very excited to see this special visitor and started asking different questions.
As we all sat in a circle showing manaakitanga/ care and respect for the piglet he began running around the floor exploring the kindergarten. We got told his name was Bob and the children all found great humour at a pig being called Bob. We enjoyed sitting watching where Bob wanted to explore and as we watched we managed our impulsivity trying to sit still so we did not give him a fright.
Because we had all just been sharing some fruit we wondered if Bob would also like to have some fruit so we gave him a piece of apple, and it wasn't long before he was snorting and munching on the fruit.
