Apii Potiki visits the Auckland Museum - 18 November 2016

The teachers at Apii Potiki have been working hard in planning the tamariki's end of the year excursion to the Auckland Museum. This planned excursion is to revisit and to extend on our children’s interests and learning throughout the year. 
We believe a trip to the Museum is a great opportunity to describe the total experiences, activities and events that occurred throughout the year of our children’s learning.


30 of our tamariki also got to attend the 'Weird and Wonderful' experience. Our lucky children got to explore and be up close with fossil collections and other interesting animals and insects.


In groups we explored as much of the Museum as possible. 


Our tamariki & whanau also got to experience what would really happen if an earthquake occurred.


It was a great day for all, our parents, our staff and especially our tamariki!!


Back at Apii Potiki we had someone special waiting for them - SANTA CLAUS! He was sitting there with a sack full of  presents and lollies to share!!


Meitaki Maata to all our anau who were able to share this day with our tamariki!!
We hope you enjoyed this excursion just as much as our tamariki and staff!

Happy Fathers Day

Wishing all our fathers a great big Happy Fathers Day this weekend! We hope you all have a wonderful day with your loved ones❤️

Balloon Day- Asthma Awareness

Balloons are always a favourite with our tamariki and today we came together during mat time to test out our lungs to raise awareness about ASTHMA. 
Asthma affects many people within our community, and this session was a way of informing tamariki of how it may feel for asthmatic sufferers (developing a sense of empathy).
Thanks to Teiho and Leteli from Health Star Pacific for providing us with the information and resources for today's experience.

PIRATES

In noticing an interest in sword play within the block area, we went on to make cardboard swords. From here, emerged pirate play...


Add in a cape and an eye patch, and these little pirates were off to find their treasure!

Meitaki Mama Tere and Rangi for showing our tamariki how capes and eye patches can be made with resources we have within our Apii.
