Te Reo Māori at Playcentre 🌿

Celebrating Te Wiki o te Reo Māori by creating an invitation to play where tamariki could make their own poi, inspired by the book Te Hanga Poi Poto. (Making a short poi). 💚

Tamariki enjoyed spinning their poi to Māori music, exploring the materials and learning through hands-on play and creativity.

Wednesday Explorers! 🌿

We had a great morning exploring Lincoln Wetlands — and this time there were SO many eels! 😮

Tamariki loved feeding them, watching them gather and splash around, then headed to the stream for some imaginative play, using sticks as fishing rods and seeing where their adventures would take them. 🎣

A big thank you to FreshChoice Prebbleton for gifting us fresh fruit each Monday! 🍎🍐🍊

It’s a lovely opportunity for our tamariki to explore new foods, practise cutting, preparing kai and learn where healthy food fits into our everyday lives. ❤️

We really appreciate your support of our Playcentre community! 🌱

Messy play, big smiles, curious minds and plenty of hands-on exploring! 👐✨

Just a little glimpse of the fun we had during Open Week at Prebbleton Playcentre. And of every other day as we never get enough of it!

Because sometimes the best learning happens when things get very messy. 😄

Thank you to everyone who came along and played with us! 💛

🌿 PIA Workshop at Prebbleton Playcentre 🌿

Last Friday we had our very first PIA workshop — a chance for our whānau to come together, learn, reflect, and explore new ways of supporting our tamariki through play.

While some parents were busy workshopping, our tamariki were busy doing what they do best… PLAYING! 😍

We had amazing play invitations set up, with plenty of messy creativity happening — from squishy playdough creations, to sandpit adventures, water play, and lots of exploring.

The best part? The “aftermath” was exactly what we wanted to see 😉 Curious minds, busy hands, happy tamariki, and lots of learning happening naturally through play.

A big thank you to everyone who helped make the session run smoothly. It was a great example of our Playcentre whānau working together ❤️

✨ A little throwback to our Matariki celebration at Playcentre.

We enjoyed an evening of glowing lanterns, dancing, a bonfire, and plenty of fun together. Seeing the children explore, play, and light up the night made it a special way to celebrate Matariki.

Thank you to everyone who joined us! 🌟

Happy Matariki!

🌿 Last day of Term 2! 🌿

This week we explored Tupuarangi, the Matariki star connected to birds, forest foods, and the ngahere (forest).

Our tamariki enjoyed watercolour painting, making bird feeders and nests and nature collages.

Thank you to all our whānau for a wonderful Term 2. We hope you have a safe and happy holiday break, and we look forward to seeing you back for Term 3 on 20 July!
