🌞🎉 Happy New Year! 🎉🌞
Our Kākano tamariki have been making the most of the beautiful sunny weather, exploring all areas of the playground and challenging their bodies and movement through active, hands-on play.
This week we have been:
🫧 chasing bubbles with our friends
🏃♂️ climbing and balancing on the playground
🏖️ getting creative in the sandpit
💦 enjoying water play
⛺ exploring the outdoor tent
Through these experiences, our pēpi are building confidence, coordination, curiosity and early social skills, while learning through joyful summer play. 🌱
🌼 Limited spaces available in our Kākano (Under 2’s) room for 2026 — enrol now!
Come and see how our pēpi learn, grow and thrive in our nurturing Kākano ruma. 💛
It is good to see the sun out again and we are making the most of it! The tamariki absolutely love water play and today they all laughed and played together and had fun. This water play activity provided the tamariki with light and heavy objects in two different troughs. One trough didn't have much water in at all and the other was very full. This gave them the opportunity to learn the difference between heavy, light, float, sink, shallow and deep.
2025 what a year. To all our tamariki & whānau that won’t be returning this year, we wish you all the best & to those who are returning, let’s have another awesome year !!!
Hari tau hou 🌺
