Did you your whānau find any items that can connect to our week 2 Currculium Scavenger hunt 💛

Kia ora whanau. Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. We started back our Move Program with catching and throwing, special mention to Amaia-Yve for overcoming her fear of getting hurt while catching. On our second week of the Move Program once again with the support from Whaea Lily we done an obstacle challenge for the tamariki. We had reverse monkeybars(close to the ground), pencil rolls, up/down buckets, army crawl and balance beam. Absolutely wonderful to see the tamariki challenging themselves. Ka pai tamariki ma!
