We have discovered a nature path just down the road from HeadStart and we were so excited to take the 4-year-olds out. This little path leads to beautiful farmland and an abundance of interesting things to look at. Tamariki were intrigued by cranes at the nearby construction site, flowers, spiky weeds, native plants and birds along the 2km walk. We even saw a Heron on the path. We enjoyed a lovely picnic lunch and made our way back to HeadStart. We look forward to more nature walks in our local community!

Wishing everyone lots of happiness, good health and prosperity this Lunar New year! A big ‘thank you’ to our awesome mums, grandparents and big brothers, who came to share Lunar New Year celebrations with us. Tamariki loved making dumplings, learning traditional paper cutting art and experiencing Chinese Calligraphy. Our centre looks very festive with many red decorations and an abundance of art work created by the children. Tamariki are learning to celebrate cultural diversity and extending their knowledge of the wider world.

Creativity
Kaiako always love to see and celebrate the amazing creativity of tamariki. A range of resources are provided each day for tamariki to explore, setting up opportunities for creative arts both indoors and outside to inspire different groups of children. Here are some of their recent beautiful creations.

Swimming
We are so excited to be back swimming for term 4! Once a week we head down to Hilton Brown swimming pool in Hobsonville for our own small group swimming lessons. Tamariki have already been extending their swimming skills such as water-confidence, floating, kicking and arm-strokes. Tamariki feel so proud of themselves as they develop new skills and abilities. It is especially important to strengthen swimming skills as we head into summer and whānau are spending more time by the water. We are looking forward to seeing our swimmers progress though to further levels in the upcoming weeks.

What wonderful parents and whānau we have in our learning community! We love to have parents come in to share their special talents with us. Amber (one of our learner’s mums) comes in each Friday to teach us dancing. We love learning about a range of movements, music, developing coordination and confidence with her.
Sophia, another one of our lovely mums, has come in twice this year to do amazing facepainting art for our tamariki. We are very grateful for these meaningful contributions to the centre. Children are building a sense of belonging and connection between home/centre life.
