Throughout the month, our Wayfinders have been investigating their intrigue in the weather. They have been actively involved in the planning process as they asked questions to inspire further exploring. This led to creating a rainbow rain science experiment as we explored gravity, making snake spirals as we learnt how we can see the wind, creating our own kites, and then reflecting on our new knowledge through drawing.
Our tamariki have loved being actively involved with planning and shaping their learning.

Last week, our Edventurers celebrated Daffodil Day by wearing a wonderful range of yellow outfits! They enjoyed exploring their creativity with daffodil collages, music and movement, and searching for hidden daffodils in the tuff trays. A great day as we continued to explore creativity and learning whilst also sharing our support for an important cause.

Our Explorers tamariki celebrated Book Week by exploring the story of Elmer the Elephant and celebrating what makes each of us unique. The tamariki then created their own Elmers as they brought their understandings to life through creative expression and rainbow paints! Book Week is a great way to reinforce how a favourite story can inspire learning and creativity.

Our Discoverers have become scientists as they explore colours and colour mixing through sensory experiences. From colour rain to tinfoil and ice painting, they have been experimenting with new creations using a diverse range of resources and textures. A wonderful way to encourage curiosity and creative expression.

Our 3 year old tamariki have been exploring colour mixing during TrailBlazer time!
The tamariki shared their predictions about what new colour might appear before mixing the two colours together and discovering the answer. This exploration encouraged curiosity, early prediction skills, and a love for learning through play and creative expression.

Today, the tamariki were very excited as they went outside to catch snowflakes falling from the sky. As the snow continued, our whole preschool kaiako team worked together to bring the winter weather indoors through sensory play. The Discoverers explored snowy textures with sand playdough, the Explorers extended real-life experiences of skiing, snowboarding and ice skating with a salt-based sensory activity, and the Wayfinders created winter animal habitats using cornflour and shaving foam. A great way to celebrate an exciting Snow Day at preschool!

Our Wayfinders tamariki participated in their own Commonwealth Games today!

After spending the past few weeks learning about the Games during our Discovery Times, the tamariki selected the sports they wanted to participate in at preschool. There was a range of sports uniforms worn as the tamariki shared their amazing growth motor skills, determination and sportsmanship.

To finish, we celebrated every child’s hard mahi (work) with a special certificate. We are so proud of our Wayfinders!

Our Trailblazer Transition to Kura (School) curriculum is informed by Te Whāriki and the knowledge gained from visits to primary schools in our community. This helps create a local curriculum that supports a smooth transition from preschool to primary school.

Our Wayfinder tamariki have been strengthening their numeracy skills by exploring the 10-frame approach through a range of engaging learning experiences. This is a great way for tamariki to begin visualising mathematical concepts through fun, game experiences.

Our Explorers have been learning all about the rainy winter weather through sensory explorations. Using blue water with droppers and cornflour clouds, they explored how rain falls whilst also strengthening their fine motor skills and grip strength. It is a great way to support and refine their working theories about the world around them.
