Māori Language Week 14 - 20 September 2026

Tamariki have enjoyed an array of different experiences this week to celebrate Māori Language Week.

Tamariki have enjoyed koru and tiki decorating, poi performance, ti rakau which is a fast paced stick game where rods are moved/thrown to a rhythm, making piupiu (traditional maori waist garment/skirt with free hanging strands and exploring different items to put in their kete (traditional Māori woven basket typically made from New Zealand flax (harakeke) or other native plant fibres).

Exploring with Sand!

Nursery tamariki love to scoop, pour and shift sand from one place to another, this helps strengthen their hands and further develop hand control.

Cutting and Pasting!

Cutting and pasting helps tamariki develop vital fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, concentration and cognitive abilities. In a group activity our tamariki also learn social skills such as sharing and communication with their peers.

Our tamariki enjoy growing together through learning and play with some fantastic collages created.

We have a new look at Educare 💫

This month marks an exciting new chapter as we introduce a refreshed Educare brand, including a new logo and visual identity.

Our new branding reflects who we are today and our vision of growing together through learning and play.

While our look is evolving, what matters most remains the same: providing a safe, caring and engaging place where tamariki feel they belong, learning is nurtured through play, and strong relationships between whānau and kaiako help every child thrive.

You’ll start to see these updates introduced gradually across our centres, website, communications, and more over time.

Thank you for being part of our Educare whānau.

What happens when you add a whole bunch of loose parts to the sandpit?........ It makes for a whole bunch of fun for the children to develop their imagination, problem solving and team work!
The Preschool tamariki have loved exploring and discovering what they can create in the sandpit with pipes, planks, reels and of course water. Its been amazing to see all the bridges, piping systems and of course team work because some of those pipes and logs have to be dug in really well!

Helping Hands!

It has been great to see some of our older tamariki helping their younger friends in our Preschool Room. When older children help younger children, it builds confidence, empathy, and leadership in the older child while helping the younger child learn new skills and feel safe.

Farm Animal Fun!

Nursery tamariki have been learning about farm animals this week.

Tamariki have been learning about the different farm animals and their environments through different textures and colours, which we are lucky enough to be able to link back to our own onsite farm yard.

Tamariki enjoyed making animal noises and exploring the animals environments during this fun experience!
