Weaving Wonders at HeadStart
Our creative tamariki have been busy exploring the art of paper weaving — turning colourful paper strips into beautiful woven patterns.
This hands-on activity is more than just a craft. It’s a great way to explore spatial concepts like “over” and “under,” develop fine motor skills, encourage problem-solving, and spark creative thinking.
Each woven masterpiece is now proudly displayed on our door, creating a vibrant and eye-catching gallery that celebrates our tamariki’s focus, persistence, and creativity.
Tamariki are drawn to our weaving display, proud to see their work showcased.

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.
