Active Explorers Richmond Celebrates Matariki

12 July 2019

After a foggy start in Nelson, the day cleared to present a spectacular night sky for our Matariki celebration at Active Explorers Richmond.

The children had prepared special kai to share, and families enjoyed getting to know each other as they ate their dinner. After dinner the children and their parents hung stars in the whare and in the trees, and capped off the evening by toasting marshmallows over the fire.

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?
