What a busy morning we had exploring, wondering and having fun. Our tamariki had a great time creating and using their imaginations to grow their learning about the world around them.

What a beautiful day to visit the residents of ‘The Beachfront’ and celebrate Matariki with them. Singing songs, listening to stories and making poi together was special for all involved. Matariki is a time to celebrate our wider community and share special moments. “Matariki hunga Nui - Matariki of many people”.

Maths in action. Our tamariki have love measuring and learning how to read the numbers on the tape measure. The playground became a new world full of numbers, working together and the wonder of the next measurement!

What a beautiful day for a walk!
We had a wonderful time climbing, running, egg balancing and playing our favourite game ‘What’s the time mr Wolf’.
Have a beautiful and restful Easter 🐣

We have been enjoying picking beans, tomatoes and strawberries for our Kai recently. Today was a moment for us to make sense of, to explore with all our senses and deepen our understanding of the world around us. We had a few beans that our tamariki could cut up, draw, taste (in a different way) and deeply explore. They loved being free to discuss with friends and ask questions about the different parts, they talked about the bits they liked to eat and the bits they didn’t like. It was such a rich moment with freedom to explore the world around us a bit more deeply, our tamariki have a passion for our gardens and being kaitiaki of through caring for them.
