BestStart Balclutha were proud to support the Heart Foundation by celebrating Big Heart Day, an annual event at our centre. 

We raised $42.30 to support the foundation and its goal to educate us and our community about heart health. 

BestStart Balclutha celebrated Big Heart Day by wearing whero and eating healthy kai. There were many old and new flavours for everyone to try: capsicum, blueberries, courgette, carrot, grapes, tomato, banana, butter beans from our garden and apple and rhubarb pudding (reduced sugar.) 

We talked about what healthy kai is and why we need healthy kai, "to work our body" and "move our blood." 

We discussed what was a fruit and what was a vegetable, we are not fruit because we don't have seeds! 

The centre had whero ❤️'s and decorations. Lots of work has gone on in the build up to today in the Be School Ready sessions, including making delicious smoothies. 

We were outside moving our tinana too, of course.
