🌿 OUR OUTDOOR SPACES ARE TRANSFORMING!

Something exciting has been happening at Summerfield… our outdoor environments are getting a beautiful new look —and we’re so excited to finally share a little sneak peek!

Our Baby and Toddler outdoor spaces are now complete, with two separate, dedicated outdoor environments designed specifically for the children in each age group.

With beautiful natural elements, plenty of space to move, explore and discover, and carefully designed areas that encourage children to challenge themselves, build confidence and learn through play.

And the best part? The children are LOVING them!

But we’re not finished yet…

Preschool outdoor space is currently a work in progress — so watch this space! 👀

We can’t wait to show you what’s coming next.
This is just the beginning…

Here’s a little sneak peek at what we’ve been creating.

Sports Project Learning at Summerfield! 🏑🏅

Our Sports Project has been full of energy, movement and learning! The children have been exploring a range of sports including basketball, golf and badminton, thanks to some very special visits from our whānau and one of our talented teachers.

We have also held our very own Summerfield Olympic Games, with football and hockey matches in the playground. Along the way, the children have been learning about teamwork, sportsmanship, encouraging others, and celebrating everyone's efforts.

It has been especially wonderful welcoming our families into Summerfield to share something they love with the children. ❤️

Celebrating Matariki at Summerfield ✨

What a truly special evening we shared with our Summerfield whānau as we came together to celebrate Matariki.

Our centre was filled with laughter and a wonderful sense of community as families joined us to explore a variety of Matariki-inspired experiences, creating, learning, and celebrating alongside their children.

One of the highlights of the evening was our oldest children proudly performing a selection of dances, followed by a powerful haka. Their confidence, enthusiasm, and pride shone through, making it a memorable moment for everyone who attended.

We were absolutely delighted by the incredible turnout, this made the evening even more meaningful.

A heartfelt ngā mihi nui to all of our children, families and teachers who helped make this celebration so special. We are incredibly grateful to share these moments with such a supportive community.
We hope you enjoy this glimpse into our Matariki celebration.

We’ve been loving our Pets Inquiry project, with so many meaningful experiences bringing our learning to life!

A highlight was our visit from Zooventures, where the children enjoyed a hands-on experience meeting a range of animals including guinea pigs, a chinchilla, turtles, birds, frogs, and bearded dragons. Alongside this, we were also lucky to have a parent bring in their bunny rabbits from home, giving children another special opportunity to connect with and learn about caring for pets.

Through these experiences, we’ve been exploring what animals need to stay healthy and happy, their different habitats, and the importance of kindness and respect when interacting with living creatures.

It’s been wonderful to see the curiosity, care, and engagement from our tamariki as they build their understanding together.

At Summerfield, we took time to remember and honour ANZAC Day. Through meaningful, hands-on experiences, the children explored the significance of this important day in ways that were engaging and age-appropriate.

We created artwork inspired by remembrance, baked traditional ANZAC cookies, and shared stories through books and conversations about history, bravery, and why we remember. The children also had the opportunity to explore medals, sparking curiosity and respectful discussions about those who served.

It was a special day of learning, reflection, and connection, as we supported our tamariki to begin understanding the values of remembrance, gratitude, and respect.

Our holiday programme for our preschool room has been full of fun, laughter, and creativity! From disco moves to dressing as favourite book characters, pyjama day, getting messy, and sharing special pets, each themed day has brought something unique.

These experiences have supported children to build confidence, strengthen social connections, and express their creativity, all while learning through play. It has been fantastic to see their engagement and enjoyment across each day.

Throughout the past few weeks the children have engaged in meaningful hands-on learning, from creating festive art and decorating our Good Luck Tree with inspiring messages to crafting traditional red envelopes filled with positive wishes for the year ahead. The celebration ended in a spectacular parade, where the children proudly led our very own handmade dragon through the centre, showcasing fantastic teamwork and joy.
We are so proud of how our young learners have embraced these traditions, developing their social and expressive skills while celebrating the beautiful diversity within our community.

Celebrating Waitangi Day at Summerfield

Our tamariki took part in a meaningful and engaging exploration of Waitangi Day, learning about its history and the values it represents — partnership, respect, and belonging.

Through story time, children were introduced to the significance of Waitangi Day and what it means for Aotearoa New Zealand. Building on this, they created their own shared story experience, working together to reenact and express their understanding through group play and imagination. This supported language development, confidence, and collaborative learning.
Music and movement were also part of the celebration. Using rākau sticks, children explored rhythm and sound while singing cultural songs, encouraging creativity and an appreciation of Māori culture.

It was wonderful to see the children so engaged, curious, and proud as they learned through play and shared experiences. A special day of connection, learning, and discovery.
