Pyjama Day 😴
What a perfect way to end the school holidays! Dressed in our cozy, comfy pj’s, having fun at kindy! We did ribbon dancing, a dance party outside, and had a yummy afternoon tea of crumpets with jam! ✨
We loved celebrating the school holidays with the tamariki, and we loved how much they enjoyed our themed days! 🫶🏻

🎨 Ngā Toi o Ngā Pēpi – Our Little Artists at Work! 👣🌈
This week in Kākano Ruma (0–2 year olds), our pēpi have been busy creating their very own toi ātaahua (beautiful art)! With paint on their hands, fingers, and rollers, they explored colour, texture, and movement! All through sensory-rich, messy play! 🖐️✨
Through this experience, our tamariki are:
🧠 Developing their fine motor skills
🎨 Exploring cause and effect (What happens when I mix colours?)
🗣️ Building language as we kōrero about what we see and feel
🤝 Strengthening confidence and independence as they lead their own exploration
At our centre, we honour every pēpi as a capable, curious learner. We nurture learning through aroha, whanaungatanga (relationships), and ako (reciprocal learning). 🌱

🧸Teddy Bear Picnic 🧸
Kia ora e te whānau!
Yesterday in the Kauri rūma, we continued with our school holiday fun, and had a teddy bear picnic. The tamariki trickled in, carrying their favourite teddies from home. We took photos, had conversations about our teddy bears, and then had our teddy bear picnic. The tamariki and their fluffy friends had yummy egg, ham, and cheese sandwiches, sprinkle donuts as a treat, and then as an even bigger treat, a vanilla ice cream cone with chocolate chips! ✨
Bringing our toys from home can be really fun, so this day was another way of teaching our tamariki to look after their belongings and keeping them safe, teaching them responsibility and accountability. ✨
The tamariki really enjoyed having their Teddy Bear Picnic, and we have one more fun day planned. Remember we have Pyjama Day on Friday, so come in your comfiest, warmest, and favourite pyjamas! 😴
