He Wiki Kī i te Aroha – A Week Full of Love
What a busy and heart-warming week we have shared together as we celebrated Valentine’s Day. Our learning space was filled with creativity, laughter and, most of all, aroha. 💗
Tamariki immersed themselves in creating special artworks – carefully shaping little love hearts, threading and designing heart necklaces, and thoughtfully decorating heart-shaped cotton pads. Little hands worked with great focus and pride, each creation a reflection of the love they were thinking about and feeling.
As we explored the meaning of aroha, tamariki shared their beautiful understandings. They spoke about aroha for one another, showing kindness through helping hands and gentle words. They shared about aroha for those close to them – for their whānau, their friends, and even their pets. Some expressed aroha for themselves, recognising the importance of caring for their own hearts and feelings. Others shared their aroha for the things that bring them joy – drawing, building, singing and playing together.
We hope all of our tamariki and whānau feel surrounded by aroha not only on Valentine’s Day, but every day.
He waka eke noa – we are all in this together. 💕

What an awesome Diwali event we had last Friday! 🎉 Families, neighbours, and friends all came together to celebrate in style — and wow, it was so much fun!!!
Big shoutout to the amazing Bollywood dancers who got the crowd moving 💃🕺
Huge thanks to Re-Creators for their creative flair, and to OMG Donuts and the Dosa food trucks for keeping our bellies happy. We came for the lights… and stayed for the food. 😄
Already counting down to next year!
