HAPPY FATHERS DAY! We would like to wish everyone a happy Fathers Day to all those special people in our wee ones' lives.
We have been preparing for this day with a small healthy competition between Dads at Discovery Junction Styx Mill... a high jump competition!
Of course, we have a wee prize for the highest jump also and a few spot prizes! Ngā tamariki and whānau have been thoroughly enjoying this!

Our wonderful Adventurer tamariki have been having a blast creating their own car castles! The best cars get to stay up on the high points and the 'naughty' cars have to stay on the ground! Great mahi tahi / group work tamariki!!

Friday at yoga, ngā tamariki practiced centering themselves and focused on the vibrations from the beautiful magical bowl Stacey brought in. They then kept their hands on their puku's to keep the magic from the bowl within themselves :) Aroha nui to Stacey from The Yogi Tribe

This week ngā tamariki have been using waiata and kaikani to learn about Matariki! It is wonderful seeing and hearing the tamariki having so many kōrero about the lunar calendar and Māori new year.
Here is a link to the fun waiata we have been practicing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2O3ICulcHBg

The concentration and coordination is laser-focused for a Friday! It takes nerves of steel to take part in waiata, kanikani AND balancing beanbags! Such clever tamariki!

Whānaungatanga (a feeling of kinship and family) is one of our values and we love to see relationships and friendships forming at such a young age! It is through shared experiences and working together that we find a sense of belonging. Ka pai tamariki!

Yesterday (Monday) ngā tamariki celebrated random acts of kindness by creating beautiful pieces of art, which they then shared with our neighbours :) It was a lovely (and caring) outing that encouraged lots of kind words and thinking.

It's Show & Tell time! Each week we encourage tamariki to bring something in from home to share with the class. This week's topic was 'Something from Nature'. Getting up in front of the group encourages confidence, oral language and social skills. It is beautiful to see what each child brings in to share!
