LITTLE GREEN FINGERS
Our little gardeners love tending to our garden, planting, filling the planter boxes, watering and then harvesting the crop.
We teach them the lifecycles of plants from garden to table and the key stages with a matching curriculum program.
Marshwood Montessori Preschool
Established in 1996, our family owned and tight knit teaching team offers purpose-built classrooms.
Practical Life Activities part of everyday life at Marshwood
Practical Life involves everyday activities that help children care for themselves, others, and their environment. Through tasks like spooning, pouring, and dressing frames, children develop self-help skills while fostering independence, responsibility, and self-confidence.
Grace and courtesy lessons nurture empathy, self-regulation, and respectful social interactions, while control of movement activities strengthen balance, coordination, and concentration, laying strong foundations for writing, reading, and problem-solving.
FUN, FLUFFY EXCURSION
The children thoroughly enjoyed their excursion, spotting the beautiful leaves along the way and excitedly naming the different colours they could see - as well as collecting some natural treasures!
At the café, the children enjoyed a fluffy topped with a marshmallow, which was very carefully savoured! It was wonderful to see the children confidently engaging in the experience and enjoying time together within our local community

GO THE ALL WHITES!
The children have been proudly practising their cheers and waving their silver fern flags ahead of today's All Whites game. It has been awesome to see their excitement as they support New Zealand's team through our FIFA World Cup inquiry. This week we will be learning a few soccor skills as well such as dribbling, passing, control over kicking the ball and the importance of working together as a team.
All the best, All Whites! We'll be cheering you on from Marshwood! ⚽🇳🇿

The children have absolutely loved our most recent Chicken lifecycle program, being part of the whole process, from helping set up the brooder box, watching the chicks hatch🐣, observing their very first feed, and learning how to care for and hold them gently. It has been such a special learning experience for the children, filled with curiosity and excitement!
We also lucky dipped names from our name jar and there were some very creative suggestions where all our chicks were named by the children.

You may have already heard, but we’re excited to share that we have a new pet Axolotl who is just a few months old! Our last Axolotl Walkie survived for 12 years and the children deeply missed her.
The children took a vote to name him/her (we are not sure of the s*x) and Monti was the winner. Long live Monti 🥰
Our little artists rolling into creativity in preparation for Marshwood's Lantern Festival. When painting meets movement, it sure brings out the giggles!

We celebrated the Chinese Lantern Festival where our children created their own lanterns and got to see them swing in the breeze. Our Marshwood families came and celebrated afternoon tea with authentic Chinese food!
