Our Water Babies

Our Under 2 tamariki were provided with an opportunity to work and strengthen their little muscles today when their teachers took them for a dip in Glen Innes Primary's pool. 
With discussions and planning between teacher Faith, and grounds man Mr Sean, our tamariki enjoyed a water learning experience this afternoon. 
Coordination, balance, and water confidence were just a few learning outcomes for our small group today.
'As they explore their world, children gain confidence in the control and use of their bodies' (Te Whariki-Exploration).

Water Safety

Today we had a visit from Karen & Y from our local YMCA. They spoke to us about many things that we need to know about keeping safe around water.
The main message was for tamariki to make sure they ask an adult before entering any kind of water play.
Thanks YMCA for teaching us about water safety through action songs, and a big thanks to Y the whale for keeping it fun:)
