Blockhouse Bay Christian Kindergarten

As part of our celebration of Samoan Language Week, we invited Peniamina’s family to share their Samoan culture with us at kindy. We had a wonderful time learning, participating, and celebrating together. A big fa’afetai (thank you) to Peniamina’s family for sharing their culture and traditions with us. We truly enjoyed this special experience. 🌺🇼🇸

E kore rātou e kaumātuatia
Pēnei i a tātou kua mahue nei
E kore hoki rātou e ngoikore
Ahakoa pehea i ngā āhuatanga o te wā
I te hekenga atu o te rā
Tae noa ki te aranga mai i te ata
Ka maumahara tonu tātou ki a rātou.
Ka maumahara tonu tātou ki a rātou.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
We will remember them.
We will remember them.

We celebrated ANZAC Day at kindy by sharing a story and singing the national anthem together. The children explored poppies and made their own crosses to remember. We held a small ceremony in the bark area where the crosses were placed with care, followed by two minutes of silence. It was a respectful and meaningful experience that helped children understand remembrance in a simple, age-appropriate way.

There is so much fun and learning happening at kindergarten this morning. Pop in and visit us if you would like to have a look around and are interested in enrolling your child. https://bbck.org.nz/

Wishing a very Happy Easter to all of our kindergarten whānau and community! Have a wonderful long weekend with your families.
