This past October at BestStart Vivian Street we had a week full of activities to celebrate Diwali! Throughout the week tamariki (children) joined in with their kaiako (teachers) to create jewellery, lanterns, candle holders, decorate rangoli designs, henna designs on cut outs of our hands and participated in a colourful dress up day.

Here at our centre, we have a variety of different cultures within our families which we enjoy learning about and incorporating in our planning and activities. Increasing children's awareness appreciation, and inclusion of different cultures is important. They will feel comfortable and become more confident learners if they see their cultures 'living with them' - it teaches them how to be sensitive and responsive to others.
