Bake a Wish at Lollipops Airport

06 September 2018

The Lollipops Airport Bake A Wish ‘Bake Sale’ has taken off and the team have already raised over $450 for the Make A Wish Foundation. Mrs New Zealand works closely with this Foundation so she wanted to come and share her stories with the children about all the fun she gets up to while making wishes for the children at Make A Wish. What a great morning we’ve all had and our children are truly learning the meaning of ‘giving back’.

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?
