AEC Matariki 2023

14 July 2023

Our Matariki Art Walkthrough evening was such a delight to connect with our whānau. This time provided opportunity for our children to feel proud of their learning space and know that their contribution to the learning environment is valued. We also greatly appreciated the donated veggies for our soup. Rachel did a fabulous job at warming up the evening with her delicious soups.

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?
