Back to Kindergarten for 2016- Inquisitive Children in Play

Nau mai, Haere mai, whakatau mai - a very warm welcome back to our BLOG as we begin sharing with you some of the exciting play experiences that happen at Geraldine Kindergarten each week. 

We have started our term with cold, wet weather but hasn't stopped the children from engaging in play both indoors and out.

We want to share with you a range of photos from our first two days back displaying some what is important to us here at Geraldine Kindergarten. Just one photo tells many stories so we hope by sharing these photos with you, you will be able to build a picture of just some of the learning that happens here.

Jordan shows Manaakitanga/care and respect as holds his hand out for the snail to move onto.

Alice strives for accuracy and precision as she uses a hammer to carefully bump the clamp in place.

Being reunited with friends is so exciting! James and Beau took some time out to plan their next steps for play. Whanaungatanga/relationships are important to our kindergarten community and seeing children re-connect with friends is very exciting.
