Special Friends Come to Kindergarten

This morning has been looked forward to for sometime by children in our morning session.
Earlier in the week a small group of children planned a doll and teddy day at kindergarten with Louise, this was to bring their special friends to kindergarten to spend the morning, show their friends and share some kai with.

So this morning children arrived excited to bring their special companion to kindergarten for the morning. There was laughter heard around the kindergarten as children used humour to connect with one another, introducing their guests to one another before settling into play.
It was time for kotahitanga (a group time where we come together each morning) and the children proudly lined their guests up on the steps while practising Kotahitanga - a Jump Jam song. 
The children's guests then joined us on the mat to start our morning together. They sat with us on the mat to say our mihi and karakia before washing our hands (some children taking a cloth to wipe their bears paws) prior to having some fruit. A special morning for our children to bring something special to them from home and share it with their kindergarten family!
