Kia ora koutou katoa!

Today we were lucky enough to join in on some fun in the sun.

The Pirongia Community Association put on a Teddy Bears Picnic at the Rangimarie Reserve today in celebration of National Teddy Bears Day!

We brought along a special furry friend to enjoy a picnic packed with love ❤️

There was face painting, a play on the park and even a human sized Teddy bear!

Thank you for putting on this special event for the tamariki of our village! 🐻

Today we were very lucky to have a special little visitor at Mountaineers! 🐮🤎

Ange brought in one of her two-day-old calves for the children to meet. The children loved having the opportunity to gently pat him, help feed him, and get up close with such a young calf.

What a wonderful hands-on learning experience for our tamariki and another special part of embracing our country setting here at Mountaineers. 🌿🐮

A big thank you to Ange for sharing this gorgeous little visitor with us! 🤎

Yesterday we had a wonderful visit to the Te Awamutu museum as we concluded our Matariki learning. ✨

The tamariki explored traditional Māori planting tools as Kerrin shared and demonstrated a variety of taonga and instruments. We enjoyed listening to Little Kiwi’s Matariki, met Marvin the puppet, and had meaningful kōrero about the whetū stars of Matariki. We also practised counting in both English and te reo Māori, making it a fun and engaging learning experience for everyone.

Thank you to the museum team for helping us celebrate and deepen our understanding of Matariki. 🌟

What a perfect day to be making delicious cheese puffs! 🧀🌧️

There’s nothing better than baking on a cold, rainy day, and the children had so much fun getting involved. A cosy winter activity enjoyed by all! 💛

🌟 What a wonderful way to wrap up our Matariki celebrations! 🌟

This week our tamariki enjoyed making a delicious homemade soup to share with our whānau at our Matariki evening. It was a beautiful opportunity for the children to contribute to a special community meal while learning about the values of Matariki – sharing, giving, reflection, and togetherness.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to celebrate with us. It was fantastic to see so many of our whānau enjoying the evening together, connecting as a community, and creating special memories.

We hope you all had a wonderful Matariki and found time to reflect, celebrate, and look ahead with hope for the year to come.

Happy Matariki from all of us at Mountaineers Childcare & Education. 💙✨
