Kia ora!
On Tuesday, it was Earth Day. To celebrate, we had lots of nature inspired activities. We love encorporating natural elements into our play and provocations to inspire tamariki to become kaitiaki (guardians).
Tamariki loved the sensory element of exploring the different plants, and used their fine motor skills to cut and paste the leaves carefully onto their paper, or colour in.
Happy Easter everyone! In Puawai Rūma we celebrated by creating some Easter bunny baskets for a few treats this afternoon. We hope you all have a wonderful long weekend and enjoy some extra time with your pēpi 😁
Tamariki loved this "kitchen" created in the sandpit. They especially enjoyed our new stone fruit and vegetable resources! They enjoyed scooping, tipping, carrying, and feeling these smooth painted stones. Tino pai tō mahi tamariki mā
Rainy Easter Day!!! 🐣🐣
Kia ora e te whānau, it was another rainy day today, so the tamariki in the Kauri rūma made the most of it, and had an Easter egg hunt set up by the Koka! They had an absolute blast finding their egg, then handing it in to Koka to receive a prize! We also have some Easter themed activities set up for Tuesday when the tamariki come back!
Have a lovely Easter weekend, tamariki and whānau mā!
