At BestStart Papanui we enjoy getting out and about within the community. From the centre, our tamariki could see a crane that continued to move around from side to side and up and down. We decided to do some further investigating and go for a hikoi to discover what was happening around us. The children were pleased and excited to stumble across a whole construction site just around the corner! We have been visiting a couple of times a week to watch the crane picking up steel and lifting it to the top of the buildings, watching the cement mixer, seeing the construction workers using power tools and discussing everything that we could hear happening. This has been a great opportunity to learn about construction and be able to see the ways our area is changing. P.S the tamariki are still debating what is being built here after reading the sign.
