Beginning to celebrate our festive season, we have an Advent calendar up to recognise what acts of kindness we can show together.
Our children have been thinking about what this looks like in our centre what can we do to help others and what this may look like.
Some of the ideas have been to help our friends, help our teachers, tidy up our mahi, help a new friend to wash their hands, help to pick up our taonga, our treasures.
With all of these messages, we have been able to refer to what being safe around our environment looks like. These practices have been great learning for everyone, good reminders too.
With all of this teaching and learning, it has introduced helping one another and tidying our spaces. We have been singing Christmas carols, wearing our favourite Christmas t-shirts, dresses and outfits.
We have been counting down the sleeps to our Christmas party at Keirunga Gardens. Drawing maps where this train park is and wondering if Santa will be visiiting us. This was a wonderful event with many of our families coming to have picnics, sing and share in the festive joy and cheer together.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
