Kia Ora/Meitaki Tane Mahuta
We are very fortunate to have access to natural resources within our local community.
On this particular day, tamariki walked through our local Eastview Reserve to explore another learning environment.
While collecting their acorns, sticks and leaves, tamariki were reminded that because we were removing some of nature away from the area, we needed to give thanks to our Maori God of the forest..."Meitaki maata Tane Mahuta..."
On return to apii, teacher Mary set up an area for tamariki to further investigate their natural collections. From here, small groups of tamariki went on to construct some interesting art pieces.
Collage with our Under 2's
Our pepe (babies) are always drawn to set ups that provoke curiosity and wonder.
Quite often our teachers provide opportunities for sensory and tactile exploration.
Patu of the Cook Islands
Our patu are always a popular choice for our tamariki.
Patu brings us together and enables tamariki to
be physically expressive through music and movement.
