Today we had two very special little visitors here at Busy Bees Tairāwhiti - Lochie and Buck the lambs! Our tamariki have loved learning how to care for and look after our fluffy friends, giving them plenty of milk, cuddles and lots of gentle loves ❤️ It has been a wonderful hands-on learning experience for our tamariki, fostering kindness, responsibility and nurturing relationships with animals.

Here are just a few snapshots of some moments of learning this week!
