Kia ora whānau 🧸

What a magical Teddy Bear Picnic we had last Friday! Thank you to all our families who came along and supported such a special evening.

We’re proud to share we raised $638.50 for Make-A-Wish Aotearoa 💙

It was so lovely celebrating with our sister centre, Gladstone Park Early Childhood Centre, and seeing our community come together. From fun races to amazing face painting by Alex 🎨, the evening was full of joy and laughter.

Sharing some cherished moments with you all 📸💛

Happy Valentine’s Day Whānau 💖

Our tamariki had a beautiful time creating special Valentine’s Day gifts for their parents and whānau. With lots of love, creativity, and excitement, they made heartfelt surprises to take home 💌✨

We hope their handmade creations brought big smiles!

🌿🇳🇿 Waitangi Day Learning 🇳🇿🌿

In the days leading up to Waitangi Day, our tamariki took part in meaningful activities by creating our class treaty, exploring raranga (weaving), and making a beautiful korowai together. ❤️🖤🤍

Through these experiences, they learned about respect, teamwork, and belonging while celebrating the values of Aotearoa. ✨

So proud of their effort and creativity!

Last week, our littlest tamariki enjoyed some sunny outdoor painting as we welcomed early summer.
With bright colours and plenty of smiles, they explored textures, patterns, and their creativity.

It’s always a joy watching our curious learners at play! 💛
