LATEST STORIES
The best time of the year!
It is the most wonderful time of the year although this time it was a little different from the other years. At BestStart Avondale, we celebrated Christmas 2021 in our own bubbles. Our preparations started weeks before as the tamariki engaged in special art experiences, decorating the room and Christmas tree, practiced singing and dancing to Christmas songs and listening to Christmas stories too. We made special gifts and greeting cards for our whanau.
On the party day, we all dressed up,, enjoyed some games, singing and dancing. We had a special afternoon tea and a fun photo session under the Christmas tree. At the end of the day the tamariki presented their whanau with the gifts they made. We also made sure that we connected with the children and families at home via teams/zoom and held a special mat time for them on the day.
We got an opportunity to express love and gratitude to our wonderful whanau and staff for their contribution and efforts especially through the challenging times.
We wish our tamariki and whanau, Merry Christmas and a Wonderful 2022!
