Dads Dine Out at Pascals Albany

04 September 2019

Dads hold a special place in the hearts of all those at Pascals Albany, and on Monday they were treated to a special Father's Day breakfast at Pascals Albany.

"Our team came to work at 6:00 am to prepare a full hot buffet breakfast for our centre fathers and father figures," says centre manager Joy Garcia.

"Whanau and community is central to our centre philosophy and celebrating Father's Day is to us a special way to show our gratefulness for the role fathers and significant male figures play in the lives of our tamariki."

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?
