MiniDale Explorers

Colour exploration with our minis, what a great way to explore different colours through squishing, patting and squeezing the cotton balls. So many little giggles filled our room today 💖

Colour mixing in the Discoverers and Creators room today, watching magic unfold. What a fun and beautiful learning experience experience 💗

Last week our Adventurers enjoyed a community walk to Ahutoetoe School!

Along the way, the tamariki became number and letter detectives, spotting numbers on letterboxes and number plates, and recognising letters on signs throughout our neighbourhood. There were lots of conversations, problem-solving, and excitement as children shared what they could see with their friends.

One of the highlights of our adventure was seeing some of our friends who have recently started school. It was so special to wave hello and see them settling into their new learning journey.

What an awesome day exploring our community, building literacy and numeracy skills, and strengthening connections with the world around us. 💛

Pink Shirt Day in Discoverers & Creators 💗

Today we are celebrating Pink Shirt Day .
A day all about kindness, inclusion, friendship, and standing up against bullying.

Our tamariki explored what it means to be a kind friend through conversations, play, sharing, and working together. We talked about using kind words, helping others feel included, and how even small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

At MiniDale, we want every child to feel safe, valued, loved, and proud to be themselves. Seeing our tamariki dressed in pink while spreading kindness throughout the day has been so special!
