Happy Samoan Language Week

05 June 2019

Talofa, from all of us at Pascals Albany!
To celebrate the language and culture of Samoa, our teachers dressed in flowery clothing; our teacher Soli cooked a Samoan feast for ALL teachers and children; our teachers will be using Samoan words and phrases all week; the Nursery faiaoga put on a concert of Samoan pese for our babies and toddlers; and Soli is going around the classrooms reading Samoan story books and teaching a Samoan pese to the children, and it doesn’t stop there - from henceforth, we are commited to making our Samoan / Pasifika heritage become securely embedded in our centre culture. 🌺🌺🌺

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

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?
