Today, we explored Waipuna-ā-Rangi, the Matariki star associated with rain, by creating a Rain Cloud in a Jar.

The tamariki were excited to watch the blue raindrops fall through the cloud and into the water below. This hands-on experiment encouraged curiosity, observation, and learning about the natural world. We talked about how rain helps plants grow and supports all living things.

🌧️ He taonga te ua.
Rain is a treasure that sustains life. 💧🌱

Tamariki asked our lovely librarian Hauraki District Libraries to help find a taniwha book today. 📖🐉

We had a wonderful library visit and enjoyed the gorgeous weather too! ☀️😊

We’d love to give a special shoutout to Nitish from Smart Environmental. 🎊

Nitish always arrives with such a warm smile and positive energy, and over time the tamariki have really built a lovely connection with him. Monday mornings became extra exciting as the children looked forward to seeing him and waving hi.

We truly appreciate the kindness and friendliness he brings each week, along with the wonderful service he provides to our centre and community. Thank you, Nitish, for always brightening our day. ☀️

We’d like to show our appreciation to all mothers, nannas, grandmothers and the speaicl person who celebrated Mother’s Day with us.

To those who weren’t able to join us on the day, we still wanted to acknowledge and thank you for the amazing job you have done loving, educating, raising, and caring for your precious tamariki every day. Your care, support, and guidance make such a special difference in their lives. 💕

We’d like to pass on this lovely opportunity from Miller Avenue School
