Our Build Up to Easter

Tamariki worked alongside teachers in a variety of experiences to gain understanding and knowledge about concepts surrounding the meaning of Easter.
Papa Apii & Papa Tere planned a circle time story that provided tamariki with the biblical meaning of Easter. Beforehand, Papa Apii set up a weekly carpentry experience for tamariki to create their own wooden crosses.
Our teacher Rave worked on a 2 week project which encouraged lots of patience, sharing, and fine motor skills for tamariki, as they transformed plastic bowls into creative Easter bonnets.

Overall, tamariki are gaining an understanding that Easter is not only about chocolate, but also a deeper meaning and purpose for this holiday period.
