Maori Language Week

12 September 2019

Te Wiki o te reo Maori 9-13 Mahuru 2019. This week kaiako and tamariki at Pascals Albany are immersed in a full week of te reo learning experiences, as part of New Zealand’s annual Maori Language Week.

The programme kicked off with kaiako and tamariki spending the day experiencing Maori resources and receiving their te reo language prompts. They also learned a new karakia, which kaiako sang at their team hui before enjoying a traditional Maori boil up, accompanied by the best-ever fried bread – all lovingly cooked by kaiako Mel and Amanda.

Ka rawe o mahi, Mel & Amanda!

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?
