🏆 Baby Cup: Little Feet, Big Goals! ⚽

In our Pūkeko Room, the babies have been enjoying lots of active play! They have loved kicking footballs, moving them around obstacles, and finding ways to score their own little “goals.” There have been plenty of smiles, laughter, and excited cheers along the way.

The children also enjoyed Baby Cup play, joining in with enthusiasm and celebrating each turn. Through these experiences, they are developing coordination, balance, confidence, and social connections while having lots of fun with their friends.

What a fun week we're having! 😊

Our tamariki have been exploring literacy by practising writing their names and recognising letters. In numeracy, we've been working on number puzzles, counting, and problem-solving skills.

We have also enjoyed some messy sensory play, mixing different coloured flours to make soft dough and stretching, squeezing, and exploring different textures. To support our fine motor development, we made special straw necklaces, using our fingers carefully to thread and create our own designs.

It has been wonderful to see everyone joining in, trying new things, and having so much fun while learning. 🌟

Our tamariki recently visited Hill School Primary as part of their transition-to-school journey 😊

The children explored the classroom environment, joined in yoga and mindfulness activities, shared conversations about emotions, and enjoyed hands-on learning through play.

It was lovely to see how confident and comfortable our tamariki were in the school environment, showing how everyday our transition-to-school curriculm is helping prepare them for this next step. 📕✏️
