Kia ora Whanāu. We need your help this Saturday the 2nd, for about an hour. 10am we will be refilling our sandpit, so if you can help, we would really appreciate it. Bring a shovel and a wheelbarrow if you have them. Many hands make light work, and it shouldn't take too long.

Thank you and see you Saturday if you can help.

We are looking forward to welcoming all our whānau to our Matariki night tonight from 5pm.

The end of summer is upon us and the warm weather continues with the children playing in the mud. So much sensory learning was occurring. When children play with mud they use all of their senses, resulting in a highly stimulated and active brain. They self assess risk, as they jump in from the side of the pit, using their balance while trying to land on their feet in the slippy mud. All this messy and fun learning occurred under the supportive, and watchful eyes of our fully trained kaiako.

What better way to express ourselves on a hot Dunner Stunner. We had classical music playing while ballerina feet splashed about in time with the music in the cool soapy water.

What a beautiful day in Dunedin today, a real Dunner stunner. The earth is warming up and the birds are chirping. What better what to get that spring step into our day than playing in the mud, glorious mud! The children thoroughly enjoyed the mud today with the warmer weather. Mud Play is important for children to develop and practice their fine and gross motor skills, increase awareness of their senses, particularly touch, improve hand/ eye coordination and develop their social and emotional skills, including taking turns and leading/following directions.
