Active Explorers Henderson Annual Art Show 2019

04 October 2019

Creativity and sustainability converged last night at Active Explorers Henderson's 2019 Art Show.

Children embraced the theme of 'Recycle and Reuse' with gusto, creating colourful and inspiring works of art that showcase the impact of pollution and the importance of recycling.

Centre manager Holly Murray said the event was a huge success - both the exhibition itself and the learning that took place in the lead-up.

"Our teachers and children did such an amazing job and put so much time and dedication into the event. Our tamariki have learnt a lot over the last couple of months about how to recycle and reuse, and keep our country clean and look after our wild life," she says.

The theme also tied in perfectly with the centre's strategic focus for the 2019 - sustainability.

Lollipops Auckland Central was awash with colour as staff, children and families celebrated Diwali, the much-loved festival of lights.

Nails, hammers and protective head gear are par for the course on a building site, but now at Learning Adventures Levin, you can find all this and more.

Young children are learning their place in the world every single day in multiple ways. The ideas that they form from observing the world around them will often show up when children are engaging in family and dramatic play, but what exactly is family and dramatic play and what are the benefits of your child engaging in it?
