Did anyone notice that bark? 🐶🐾
Not that kind of bark… this kind of bark! ⬇️

Last week we had a rather large delivery at our centre. We are super excited to have a fresh top up of bark in our playground as we head towards the warmer season.

A huge mihi to all of the tamariki & whānau who helped on & off session to move this maunga!

Science | Pūtaiao experiments and potion play have recently been a hit at our centre! 🧪🫧 Tamariki have been super inquisitive and creative when joining in with these areas of play.

Potion play & Pūtaiao play is a fabulous way for us to incorporate natural resources from our local taiao, into our everyday play 🌱🪻🌿🌷

Are there any resources in your surrounding taiao that could be used for play? Drop us a comment and let us know what natural resources you would use in your potion ⬇️

Join us tomorrow! Anytime between 09:30-12:30 😊
