Welcome back to BestStart Dublin Street!

A big welcome back to everyone as we look forward to a new and exciting year ahead of us! We hope you have all had a great summer holidays and have enjoyed spending time with your families/whanau and having a break away.

As a lovely start to the New Year we had a ‘Winter Wonderland’ themed day, complete with REAL SNOW! You can imagine the delight on the children’s faces! Many of them I’m sure this was a first for them! After our ‘Snow Man’ arrived with his trailer load, everyone was very excited to come outside to see it. After a few initial moments of pondering and wondering, the children got right in and had a great time exploring the snow. We had snowmen being built, bucketloads filling up, and mini snow fights going on, and of course a heap of laughter and smiles all around.

This was a very special day for us. It’s not every day one gets to explore snow and learn about it first-hand. This provided the children with a great opportunity to delve into Early Science, learning about the properties of snow, how it feels to touch, being able to mould with it, and observing it slowly melt over time.
