Gulf Harbour Preschool

We explored what makes a healthy dinner plate! 🍽️ The tamariki enjoyed sorting foods, sharing their ideas, and learning how to build a balanced meal filled with colourful fruits and vegetables, proteins, grains, and dairy. What a fantastic way to support healthy eating habits while building confidence and knowledge around nutrition! 🌽🥕🍗🍎

We tasted different veges, discovered some new favourites, and investigated the many colours, textures, smells, and shapes they came in. To finish off our learning, we worked together to make our very own delicious vegetable soup 🍲 It was such a fun and hands-on way to learn about healthy foods! 🥕🥬🥦🌽🧅

Our little artists explored gorgeous autumn colours through butterfly prints, discovering how each side mirrors the other in the most magical way. 🍁🦋🍂

We had such a fun time reinforcing our learning by deciding together whether each food was a fruit, vegetable, or meat/protein. 🫛🥕🥦🍗🥓🥩🍓🍍🍌🍋🍏

Happy Mother’s Day to all our amazing Mums and Grandmas. We wish you all a beautiful day filled with love, laughter, and appreciation 🌸

💛🐰 Our tamariki have had so much fun exploring different shapes, and pretty pastel colours as they brought their bunny artwork to life. From fluffy tails to twitching ears, each piece is full of personality and imagination. 🐰💛

We had so much fun diving into the world of spectacular spinning spiders! 🕷️✨ Our tamariki explored these fascinating wee creatures (pungawerewere), creating their own amazing spider artwork while learning the most interesting facts. You can find the full story on our newest display in the centre and over on our website, come take a look! 💙💚

Zachary’s grandad came in to share his knowledge about bees with us 🐝. The tamariki were fascinated as they learned how bees collect nectar, why they are so important for our environment, and how honey is made. Thank you for buzzing by and helping us learn more about these amazing little helpers! 🌼🍯

You can read the full story and discover more fun facts about bees over on the News & Updates page on our website.

Such a joy to share the magic of Chinese New Year with all our lovely families. What a special way to celebrate together!❤️🧧✨
