What a lovely and fun-filled week we had!

🔢🌸 We started the week exploring numeracy through games. Our tamariki enjoyed sorting and matching different numbers with beautiful putiputi (flowers), while developing their counting and problem-solving skills through play.

🧸 On Wednesday, we celebrated Teddy Bear Picnic Day. Our tamariki were excited to bring their special teddy bears from home. It was wonderful to see them caring for their cuddly friends, taking them on adventures, and including them in their play throughout the day.

🌈☔ The rainy weather did not stop us from having fun. We brought our water play indoors and spent time creating colourful rainbow raindrops. The tamariki enjoyed exploring colours, sharing their ideas, and expressing their creativity. Rainy days can be a wonderful opportunity for learning, discovery, and imagination.

🍕👩‍🍳 Another highlight of the week was making our own delicious pizzas. The tamariki enjoyed making their pizzas and choosing their favourite toppings, like cheese, ham, and vegetables. During lunchtime, we had real pizzas to enjoy together. There were lots of smiles as everyone shared their pizza creation ideas with their friends.

✨ We look forward to another week of learning, laughter, and making special memories together.

Ngā mihi 😊

Today our daycare was filled with pink, smiles, and kindness 💗

We loved seeing our children and teachers come together to support the message behind Pink Shirt Day. At our centre, we believe every child should feel safe, included, and cared for.

Kindness, friendship, and respect are things we try to teach and show every day, and today was a lovely reminder of how important that is. Thank you to our families for helping us celebrate and stand together in the spirit of kindness and inclusion 💕

A MEANINGFUL WEEK!

We learned about Anzac Day and got creative by making a special Anzac Day collage and handprint art 🌺 The children enjoyed exploring and talking about why this day is important.

We also had an exciting visit from our local Police 🚓 This was a great way to connect our learning, as we talked about how Anzac Day is about remembering people who served in the past, and how police help serve and protect our community today.

A fun week full of creativity, learning, and new experiences!
