☘️St Patrick’s Day in Puāwai Rūma! ☘️
🌈Kia ora e te whānau! 🌈
It was St Patrick’s Day on Tuesday, and we had a green dress up, and lots of activities and fun!
This was an amazing opportunity for the tamariki to get creative, but also learn about different countries and culture. We rocked up in our best green outfits, kaiako included! We had a delicious green cake for morning tea, then we participated in some themed activities such as green and glittery gold playdough with rainbow pipe cleaners, painting and colouring, and then finished our celebrations with rainbow facepaints! 💚🇨🇮
Moments like these support a sense of belonging and help tamariki discover the joy of different traditions together. 💚💚
☀️🌿 Outdoor Adventures in Kākano Rūma 🌿☀️
This week we’ve been making the most of the sunshine before the rain arrived! Our pēpi absolutely love being outside — exploring, moving their bodies, and challenging themselves in new ways every day. 💛
Our youngest pēpi enjoyed rolling, stretching, and building strength through tummy time, while watching and learning from their older peers 👶✨
Our older tamariki kept busy riding bikes, climbing on the playground, and exploring the sandpit — full of energy, confidence, and smiles! 🚲🌞
🌱 What are they learning?
• Physical development – building strength, balance, and coordination
• Confidence – taking safe risks and challenging their movements
• Observation & imitation – learning by watching and copying others
• Social skills – playing alongside peers and building connections
• Independence – exploring their environment in their own way
These outdoor moments are where so much learning happens — through movement, play, and connection.
📣 Spaces are filling fast for 0–5 year olds – come join our Kidz Kindy whānau!
