Active Explorers Kaiapoi

What a fun magic science experiment today.

Today the Discoverers classroom had a transition to school visit. We were building relationships, learning new routines, and getting familiar with a primary school environment. Lots of fun was had by everyone. It was especially nice to see our old discoverer friends Frankie, Kailen and Thomas.

So much to be explored this week!
Our littlest tamariki putting their stamp on group art in the sunshine was a favourite!
But tipping, pouring, squishing and diving into pink gloop, definitely took top stop 🎨

Who loves a good old sausage roll? Today the tamariki had fun making sausage rolls. Then off to the Discoverers cafe to taste test them. Such a beautiful way for tamariki to learn about nutrition and life skills.

What a treat! Ben, from our local library came to visit us bringing stories, rhymes, and live music too! The children had a great time and were all very involved. Such a great way to build connections with our local community.

Thank you Jo from Eco Educate for coming in today to teach us all about worms 🪱and our worm farm. The tamariki had lots of fun engaging in this wonderful hand-on learning experience with you.
Our worm farm is looking great ! Thank you Anita from Growing Kiwi Gardeners for helping us with this as well. We are so grateful to have these learning opportunities at Active Explorers, Kaiapoi.

This month we have explored different painting tools and different ways to use them! Such a fantastic way to boost cognitive and motor skills as well as encouraging self-expression, all while having fun xx
