May Learning Moments


Our Mother's were in for many treats on Mother's Day this year.
A group of friends decided that it would be a good idea to plan to bake some special cookies for their Mum's, this year the cookies of choice were stained glass hearts. Tamariki also made cards, pictures & posed for some good looking photo collages.


Our tamariki always enjoy lots of physical activities. Our teachers will often move equipment around so that our tamariki can continue to enjoy being physical even if it raining outdoors.


Arts and crafts can be messy...YAY! We love messy play:) 
Painting is a regular favourite with most of our tamariki.

Here is an example of tamariki sharing their skills with others, and having a want to help & support one another.

Kuki Airani Reo is more popular than ever with most of 
our older tamariki. Meitaki Maata to Mama Tere & Papa Apii for 
their continued support for our tamariki in this area of learning.

Happy 5th Birthday to Ace! And a huge THANK YOU to 
Ace's family for all of the delicious treats! 
Best wishes Ace, and keep shining throughout your Primary School journey.
A small group of tamariki have recently become interested in the different types of teas that they see their teachers drinking. It all began when one child asked, "Can I have a taste?" From here, the small group have had several tea tastings to which a tally was filled out to identify the groups overall favourite teas. I personally can not wait to see where this interest will move to next:)
Watch this space...

PLAYGROUND UPGRADE

Last week our good friends from Playscape started on constructing the upgrade phase of our playground.

STAGE ONE



STAGE TWO

The playground ties in with the existing elements together with a consistent natural theme.

STAGE THREE

The raised hill and slide introduce a sense of height to an otherwise flat area providing many opportunities for imaginative play and physical challenges.




Come and check out the playground upgrade that is sure to test our tamariki's cognitive skills

Gloop - Messy Play

Messy play is such a wonderful experience for our tamariki to come together and strengthen their little finger muscles, this not only gets them ready for writing, but also keeps children engaged on rainy days.
