The Nursery tamariki engaged in creative learning experiences that fostered self-expression, refined their fine motor skills, and produced vibrant artworks. Many of these artworks are showcased throughout the Nursery, adding to the festive spirit of Christmas. Participation in these activities enabled learners to explore and learn collaboratively with their peers.

The Nursery tamariki enjoyed cup week as much as the rest of Canterbury. We were able to create our own lovely hats, adorned with feathers, during an art experience, we participated in horse riding, horse races and used the plastic horses in the sensory tray. These learning experiences provided opportunities for extension of Early Literacy and Numeracy skills.

Our Kindy friends joined the Learning Centre yesterday and went on an adventure to the local school to watch the Pet Day Pet Parade. We saw some really cool animals and familiar faces from the school community. We felt very lucky to be invited to this special event.

In the Nursery we have celebrated Diwali, the festival of light. This festival takes place between October and November, symbolising the spiritual victory of light over darkness. The tamariki were enthusiastic about creating Rangoli sun catchers and colourful Diya lamps to decorate the Nursery. Participation in these experiences provided the tamariki the opportunity to learn more about the stories and symbols of another culture, while developing their communication and early numeracy skills as well as their social competencies.

It has been a very busy month in the Kindy! Our current focus has been on weather and the changes that Spring brings to our environment. We have created many masterpieces, danced in the rain and created our very own rain clouds. We have also had mini focuses on Halloween and Diwali.

The Nursery tamariki have taken an interest in caring for the dolls. A 'picnic' in the sunshine provided an enjoyable opportunity for all to engage. The dolls were very well taken care of with lots of ā€˜healthy treatsā€™ being shared. This imaginative play opportunity showcased the tamarikiā€™s developing social skills. The kaiako are using this new interest to foster Tuakana-teina relationships and encourage responsible behavior.

The Nursery tamariki embarked on a journey of sensory exploration while they prepared for Fatherā€™s Day. We explored and discussed the textures, colours and smells of the lemons, rosemary and pinecones we used to make fire starters for the Nursery Dads.
Happy Fatherā€™s Day.
