We are so lucky having parents who contribute to our preschool. Today the children were able to join in a PT session run by one of our lovely Dads. Thanks for your time today Chris - the children loved having you come and teach them about keeping their bodies healthy.

Learning through Play! Most of the learning during the early years is done through play. By setting up learning opportunities such as this, the children are exploring scientific concepts such as force, gravity and trial and error. They are also practicing their social learning through turn taking, working collaboratively and observing others.

Celebrating Special Moments Together - Today we celebrated a big birthday for Deb’s. We had planned to have a surprise High Tea Party. The children helped to make kai, present the tables and pick flowers. There was lots of giggles as Deb’s arrived in anticipation of Deb’s discovering her special surprise. What a lovely way to all come together and celebrate this special day.
