Celebrating Maori Language Week at Active Explorers Tai Tapu

11 September 2018

A provocation that we set up in our prep school after reading “in the beginning” with our children. They are able to use this in any way and have the book to use as a reference. The children helped to find the resources around the centre that went with each of the gods to illustrate there role within the story.

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?
