Craig Smith at Little Earth Queenstown

18 April 2018

Little Earth Queenstown was very excited to have a concert by Craig Smith (Wonky Donkey man) on Thursday 29 March 2018.

Each room made some baking for a shared afternoon tea to say a BIG thank you to Craig.

They all gathered in Mohiotanga room 1 already for the first song The Wonky Donkey.

This was followed by Willbee the Bumblebee, Kaha the Kea, Square Eyes, My Daddy Ate an Apple and Eating.

Even Kaka the Kea came to visit!

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?
