They thoroughly enjoyed this creative activity.
Diwali is a spiritual celebration symbolising the ‘victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance’. Many Indian people all over the world come together in celebrating with their loved ones, as well as sharing this occasion with the people that have become their neighbours. There will be several big celebrations in Auckland this weekend, so do make a day of it and enjoy the colours, the food, the dancing, and the music.

Today we had fun making a big puddle in the sandpit. After initially digging a hole we had lots of helpers to help fill it with water. Due to growing interest in the activity the hole needed to be made bigger to accommodate more children at once. Problem solving at its best followed by lots of negotiation as the children took turns having fun in our man made puddle. Learning is everywhere!

The children learnt about different emergency services, their roles, the special clothing worn by ambulance crew, what it looks like inside an ambulance, the equipment children may interact with in an emergency and what we need to do in an emergency.
The children got the opportunity to see some real oxygen equipment, try on some ambulance clothing, support an injury and practice putting on bandages. It was a fun morning for everyone and we all learnt so much - thank you St John's Ambulance!

At kindergarten we place high value on the importance of physically active outdoor play and exploration so with this in mind we have invested in some wet weather overalls, rain jackets and gumboots so that children have the opportunity to explore in the outdoors all day irrespective of the weather.
Today the children were initially puzzled as we encouraged their play in the rain and when the rain became heavy their automatic reaction was to run for shelter but it didn't take long for them to embrace this new play opportunity. As the day progressed the children eagerly awaited the rainfall and were thrilled as the puddles grew deeper. The children's songs changed from "rain, rain go away" to "rain, rain come back and play" as the showers came and went.
We are looking forward to more active exploration in the outdoors all day, every day at kindergarten!
I would like to share with you a great blog by Justine from Good to Great Parenting to support parents with managing stress at mealtimes - when to eat, fussy eaters and children who eat too fast or too much. If you struggle at meal times with your preschool take a look at this blog.

This week, this message was reinforced by the Ministry or Education in a letter to all early childhood providers so we would like to reach out to our community and encourage families with younger children to review the following Ministry of Health publication www.health.govt.nz....
We believe that this publication is a valuable tool for parents and caregivers. It contains important information about foods more commonly associated with choking incidents for children along with ways of reducing this risk. Please read it and share it with your own family and friends and keep your precious children safe.
We would like to wish all Mother's within our community a wonderful Mother's Day today. Enjoy being a Mum today and everyday!

This morning the pile of leaves was particularly large after the weekend and particularly tempting!
Various groups of children enjoyed gathering and tossing the large piles into the air, enjoying the sprinkle effect on their faces as the petite leaves fell back down. This spontaneous exploration of the seasons was contagious and had most children engaged for quite some time. During this activity children have the opportunity to actively explore with all of their senses as well as investigate theories around trajectory, gravity, coordination and cause and effect. When the fun was drawing to a close we encouraged the children to participate in the tidy up and take responsibility for their play space which they happily did.
We hope our community is enjoying autumn as much at we are!

We are a privately-owned kindergarten in Remuera licensed for 2-5 year olds, with a strong sense of community. At Little Treehouse Kindergarten we nurture trusting, respectful and reciprocal relationships which lay the foundation for learning. We offer child initiated play based experiences and opportunities that encourage imagination, creative and critical thinking. We view our tamariki as individuals, as active and conscientious participants in a democratic society, confident in and capable of upholding and advocating for their rights and those of others. If you are a qualified teacher with similar values we would love to hear from you.
This position would suit a mother or semi retired qualified teacher in the local community wanting part time work.

This week our children have been learning about this Thai celebration, exploring Thai traditions with the making of stupas decorated with flags, flowers and leaves, exploring the beautiful scents from some aromatic Thai herbs and plants, trying traditional Thai sweet sticky rice with sweet mango and offering good wishes for the new year by blessing our teachers and friends with a white clay paste and rose scented water. We have also been singing Thai songs and reading books from Thailand.

We all enjoyed being active with lots of fun activities including soccer, tag tails, rob the nest, a very tricky obstacle course and the crowd favourite- egg and spoon races. We shared a picnic morning tea followed by climbing Mount Hobson/Ōhinerau and some songs and fun with the giant parachute before heading back to kindy.
By participating in these activities the children are strengthening many skills including - balance, hand eye coordination, loco motor skills, listening and communication skills, patience and persistence.
All this learning while enjoying a wonderful summers day outdoors.
