All About Children - Avondale

We have been exploring numeracy in new ways! All while investigating size, shape and colours through play 🌈

Our toddlers had a wonderful time with the librarian from Avondale Library this morning!

We enjoyed playing a fun guessing sound game together and listened to two lovely stories — Shark in the Park and Find Fergus. 🦈🐶

The librarian was so impressed with our children’s amazing attention skills and engagement throughout the session. We are so proud of our tamariki and their enthusiasm for stories and learning! 💛

Our infants love expressing themselves with paint and even better if it involves nature 🍁

Our preschoolers loved exploring with foam, squishing and scooping as they discovered new textures and sensations 🤍

This hands-on play supports creativity, sensory development and fine motor skills through play 🌈

Exploring ANZAC Day through our senses 🎨🌿

Our youngest tamariki used paint and hands-on creativity to express their ideas 🖌️

Through these experiences, they are building connections to creativity and the world around them ❤️

A special visit from Ms Woolley from Avondale Primary School brought lots of smiles to our tamariki ✨📚

She read engaging stories, introduced her friend Monster, and helped us learn about the phonics sound of the letter “M” 🔤🐻

The children really enjoyed the visit and are now looking forward to our upcoming school visit with excitement! 🎒💫

We loved welcoming whānau into our centre for our Parent Evening 🤍

It was a special opportunity to connect, share your child’s learning journey, and talk about how we support tamariki to grow, explore and thrive each day.

Thank you to all our families who joined us, your presence and engagement mean so much to us and to your tamariki 🌿

Our preschoolers have been proudly practicing identifying and writing their names ✏️✨

Through hands-on activities and gentle encouragement, tamariki are building confidence as they recognise the letters in their names and begin forming them independently.

We love celebrating these moments as each child takes another step in their learning journey 🌟

Our youngest tamariki have been busy exploring shapes, colours, and creative expression through collage 🎨✂️

Using a variety of textures and materials, our tamariki carefully selected, arranged and layered their pieces to create unique works of art 🖼️

It’s always amazing to see the imagination and confidence that shines through when tamariki are given the freedom to create 🌈

So many possibilities! 🧩✨

Loose parts play encourages tamariki to think creatively, experiment freely and bring their ideas to life through open-ended exploration 💭
