In the Tahi Room we have been learning about empathy and what it means to care for each other. We extended on this learning by planning to take children out into the local shops and business to spread kindness by giving away cookies that we had baked at the centre.

We went to the shopping centre close by and went and visited our friends at the Mercy Hospice Op-shop where we bought some books on 'kindness and sharing' and the children really enjoyed having a look around and interacting with other people visiting the shop. 

As we were passing through the business area, we all briefly stopped near The Warehouse, Subway, and the Barbershop where children handed out some cookies to the people that were out and about in the community. 

We had some awesome parents like Abraham's mum Glaze who offered to help out. We had our lovely centre admin Seema and our van driver Neema for their help in picking us up and taking us back to the centre when it started raining.

Everyone that helped out made this a very successful trip.
