This week we are focusing on the letter F so…
F is for fortune cookies and fairy bread!!! 🧚‍♀️ the tamariki were able to practice their buttering skills of the bread then sprinkling on their sprinkles! We got some laughs and excitement from all the tamariki !! 🙂

Summer days mean summer fun!

Yesterday, kaiako Simoane had a little friend land on her! We weren’t quite sure what kind of bug it was, but it instantly caught the tamariki’s interest. 👀
Bryn was brave enough to hold the little bug, before it decided to fly onto Micah’s knee! What an exciting little encounter! 🐛💚
The tamariki have also been making the most of the sunshine, having fun at our very own “beach” and transforming into beautiful mermaids! 🧜‍♀️🌊☀️

How lovely it is to enjoy these sunny summer days together! 💛

🧊💙 A little bit of winter magic! 💙🧊

Our tamariki have been having fun experimenting with coloured water and ice, watching the colours spread, the ice melt and their creations change. So much learning happening through simple, hands-on play developing our pincer grips 🥰❄️💧✨

Enrolling now 💕 Come and see what we’re all about, we’d love to welcome you and your whānau 🦉.

🌧️ Stormy weather yesterday called for a spa day!! 🧖‍♀️✨

Our tamariki had so much fun being pampered, exploring the soothing vibrations of the foot spa and taking some time to care for ourselves. 💕 This experience linked beautifully with our “This Is Me” focus as we explored our senses and the importance of looking after ourselves. 🦶

We’ve had so much fun exploring our focus of this is me and developing our sense of belonging within our Little Minerva whānau 💕

Tamariki have been learning all about themselves. Discovering their body parts and what their bodies can do. Tamariki have been having fun creating family trees and talking about the special people in their lives.

Through these experiences, tamariki and kaiako are celebrating what makes each of us unique, building confidence in who we are and developing a strong sense of belonging.🌿💛

There’s always a perk to being the first one at preschool! 🌟 Bryn was lucky enough to have some special one-on-one time with Kaiako Joanna and Molly, making some yummy bread together. 🍞

As part of our “This Is Me” focus, we are exploring ways we can care for ourselves and keep our bodies healthy. Making and enjoying our own food provides opportunities for tamariki to learn about healthy choices, where our food comes from and the importance of nourishing our bodies.
