Changepoint Early Learning Centre

We had a visit from Sue's dog. She was a little timid so we had to practice self-control, gentleness and kindness. All our tamariki did so well!

Artistic fun with colour while strengthening our hand muscles. This is one example of an activity that helps strengthen the pincer grip muscles that one day will be utilised to hold a pencil and write. All while having fun exploring colour mixing!

We had fun cleaning our outside toys too!

Helping out and caring for our property increases responsibility and sense of belonging! We love all our helping hands at ELC

Baking is a recent growing interest for our tamariki. We are lucky enough to be getting some winter fruit from our orchard, which we have been enjoying making into some delicious kai. What are some fail safe recipes we should try next?

Baking soda and vinegar experiments. What happens when we mix them?

Planting a tree to help our tui have enough kai. Caring for the beautiful land we have is such an important part of what we do at ELC.

Pretending to be motorbikes up and down the mulch hill. We learned about the importance of give way rules and going the same way!

Hide and Seek in long grass!

Mānawatia a Matariki!! We celebrated Matariki with a fun light trail last week at night as well as talking with our tamariki the importance behind Matariki. This is your encouragement to check-in with yourself and others "how are you doing, physically, emotionally, and spiritually".
