“He kākano ahau i ruia mai i Rangiātea.”
I am a seed sown from Rangiātea.

Just like the flowers we planted today, our tamariki are growing a little more each day.

Our Discoverers and Creators loved getting their hands in the soil, planting colourful blooms, watering them with care, and showing respect for Papatūānuku. These moments remind us that when children are given time to connect with nature, they grow confidence, responsibility, and a deep sense of belonging.

Sliding into Wednesday, filling the playground with so much joy!

What a special day we had on our walk to Summerset Retirement Village with our adventurers Whanau.

We had an absolute blast spending time with the residents, creating beautiful Matariki crafts, sharing our waiata, enjoying some delicious kai together, and making wonderful memories.

These moments remind us how important it is to build meaningful connections across generations. Through laughter, conversation, creativity, and kindness, we continue to strengthen our communication, grow our relationships, and celebrate the true spirit of Matariki with our wider community.

Thank you to everyone at Summerset for your warm welcome and for sharing this special time with us.
