AEC Fathers Day 2023

04 September 2023

Our tamariki honoured their Dads or significant male figure in their lives, for all that they do, recognising the significant role that they all play in the lives of their children. To celebrate Father's Day, we welcomed all our Dads to drop their children off in the morning and spend a few minutes receiving a handmade gift from their child. As Dads popped out to work they could Grab n Go a hot drink and chocolates 😊. We had very happy and proud tamariki showering their Dads with love!

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?
