Happy Mother’s Day! 💐 💮
To all the whaea, mums, step-mums, grandmas, nanas and mother figures in our lives - today is for you!
For the early starts, the big hugs, the long nights, and the endless love in so many different forms… we see it, and we appreciate it.
Sending love and aroha to you today.
We also hold space today, for those who may be missing someone, waiting for someone, or carrying their motherhood journey quietly. 💗 💜
Te rā whakamaumahara ki ngā hōia - ANZAC day 2026
E kore rātou e kaumātuatia
Pēnei i a tātou kua mahue nei
E kore hoki rātou e ngoikore
Ahakoa pehea i ngā āhuatanga o te wā
I te hekenga atu o te rā
Tae noa ki te aranga mai i te ata
Ka maumahara tonu tātou ki a rātou.
They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them

Joy in numbers - tamariki are counting, grouping, and noticing numbers in everyday moments like building, like climbing, like painting rainbows, like counting on each other ❤️.
He tino taonga ēnei wā ako — such special learning moments! 🌱
Kia haumaru to koutou haere, be safe out there whānau x
And cue the more gentle approach with our pepi 😝 - Happy Easter whānau!!
Wishing you all a happy and safe Easter break! Enjoy the long weekend with your whānau, and we look forward to seeing you all back on Tuesday 🐣🌼
Ngā mihi o te Aranga ki a koutou katoa – kia haumaru to koutou wā whakatā. Ka kite anō tātou ā te Rātū!

Watching tamariki strengthen their fine motor skills through play is a beautiful reminder that learning to write begins long before a pencil is in hand ✍️
