Active Explorers Ellerslie

Today, our tamariki challenged their balance and coordination through fun yoga and movement activities outdoors. These experiences help build strength, focus, and confidence while encouraging healthy, active play. 🌿🧘‍♀️☀️

Our tamariki have loved learning about volcanoes through experiments, art, books, and sensory play. 🌋

They explored how volcanoes erupt, shared ideas, asked questions, and worked together to discover more about the world around them. It has been wonderful to see their curiosity and excitement grow throughout this learning journey. ❤️Active Explorers Ellerslie

A simple meal enjoyed by our tamariki together with lots of smiles and happy conversations 😊

We enjoyed our regular excursion to Celtic Crescent Playground Park 🌿☀️

The children had so much fun exploring the playground, running around, climbing, and enjoying the fresh air. During our walk, the tamariki also collected leaves and explored nature around the park, encouraging curiosity and connection with the environment 🍂💚

What a lovely day filled with laughter, learning, and outdoor adventure!

Our preschoolers shared such a special morning with the lovely nannas and poppas at the retirement village. Dressed in pink and full of excitement, our tamariki proudly performed songs and shared smiles that brought so much joy to everyone in the room.

After the performance, the children sat together with the residents for some quiet colouring time. It was heartwarming to see the conversations, laughter, gentle encouragement and beautiful connections forming across generations. Tiny hands and wise hands creating side by side — such a precious moment to witness.

Experiences like these help our tamariki learn kindness, empathy, respect and the importance of community and belonging. Thank you to the wonderful residents for welcoming us so warmly. We left with full hearts and many happy memories.

It was wonderful to see their confidence, curiosity, and imagination grow through play and discovery. 🌿🦖🧱✨

Today our children enjoyed exploring, building, and creating through hands-on play experiences. From construction activities to imaginative dinosaur play, the children used their creativity, problem-solving skills, and teamwork while having so much fun together.
