Dragon Boat Festival
On 22nd June, we celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival. It is a Chinese holiday that occurs on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar which corresponds to late May or June.
Teachers/Kaiako provided a range of exciting learning experiences in both under 2's and over 2's rooms, to support tamariki to learn about this festival. These included painting, making paper boats with red paper, drawing pictures, and coloring. They had a great time playing with the playdough, blocks, and pretend cooking in the family area.
They had the opportunity to engage in a water-play boat racing game and dancing. It is wonderful to see our tamariki and Kaiako dressed up in red to celebrate this special day.
