Te wiki o te reo Māori! Using te reo Māori is something we incorporate daily at centre but to honor te wiki o te reo Māori (Māori language week) whero rōpū gathered together at hui time to play one of their favourite games, "what's in my box?!". This is a fun game where tamariki have to remember what's in the box. We have different objects or pictures of objects where we share the te reo Māori kupu (word) and the sign for the objects. Today we learnt the new kupu for bike which is, pahikara. Tamariki also learnt the sign to go along with the new kupu. So much learning happens with this game; patience, waiting for their turn, active listening, listening to understand, praising, cheering their friends on, learning new sign language, and te reo Māori. Most importantly tamariki were engaged and having fun while learning! Tino pai tamariki mā!

POLYFEST

Over the last month or so tamariki in whero rōpū have been putting in some hard mahi practicing for Polyfest. They learnt new waiata and kanikani. The confidence and joy our tamariki gained from participating at Polyfest is huge! We are so proud of them and their performance! Thank you to the whānau who supported our trip and the whānau who came along to watch your awesome tamariki perform on the day. Hopefully we will have another trip up to the rest home in the coming weeks to share our performance with our local community! Here is a video of our performance on stage. Please if any whānau have any photos, we would love to see them and get some printed for our tamariki to view. Enjoy!

With all the excitement of the Little yellow whakakari/digger here at St Clair Corner the Whero rōpū decided they would be good ehoa by making Dan the digger man, Kyle and James some chocolate chip biscuits. As you can See Dan the digger man was very happy with his afternoon treat. Dan always says hi to the tamariki when he is going past and includes them in our construction journey.

Today our tamariki had to opportunity to explore bubble wrap! The bubble wrap caught the attention of almost everyone who walked into the room! Even our new e hoa, Dan the digger man! Tamariki experimented and found different ways to try and pop the bubble warp. From jumping to running, from pinching and squeezing. What a fun experience for our tamariki!

Kia ora whanau.
Today our tamariki had an amazing day learning about oral health and healthy habits through creative and hands-on play! The children used whiteboard markers and erasers on laminated mouth mats to practice scrubbing away plaque, followed step-by-step guides on proper teeth brushing, and used playdough to sculpt rows of teeth and healthy fruits and vegetables. These interactive activities gave everyone a fun way to discuss how nutritious choices and brushing keep our bodies strong and healthy—feel free to ask your child to show off their best brushing moves before bed tonight.
