Let’s Get Healthy!
Recently one of our parents competed in the National Touch tournament held in the North Island. His team won a medal and his daughter was understandably proud. Every morning we have a hui for our four-year olds and during this time she told her kaiako (teachers) that she would love to win a medal also. Discussions were held between tamariki (children) and kaiako and it was agreed that BestStart Wairakei Road would hold a sports day the following week.
Kaiako arranged sack races, egg and spoon races, running races and they also set up an obstacle course. The children were very excited and participated enthusiastically. They cheered for their friends, they tried new things and they challenged themselves.
At the completion of the event, all participants received a medal in a special medal ceremony. Tamariki wore their medals with pride.
At Beststart Wairakei Road we embrace Hauora. We encourage and support tamariki and whānau to take care of their health and wellbeing
