A Trip to the Auckland Museum

01 August 2022

We had a wonderful trip thanks to all involved and those that helped us make it possible. The tamariki did so well, adapting to the change of routine, great participation throughout the day in addition staying with/near their adults, following instructions and using their walking feet. We learnt a lot and we look forward to more trips in the future!

Everyday in lots of different ways, opportunities present themselves for our children to engage in mathematical concepts.

No doubt over the years we’ve all had a wee dabble playing with play dough- whether it be the commercial play-doh brand that was first marketing as a play product in the 1950’s or the homemade version that has been whipped up in kitchens all around the world. There are many reasons why playdough is so popular and the skills developed through playing with this medium go far deeper than just imagination and creativity!

There’s no denying the delight that bubbles can bring for children and adults alike! As an adult it comes naturally to us to be able to blow bubbles, but have you ever thought about the different skills it takes?
