What’s going on

Busy C's

Kia ora from Busy C’s, We have been lucky enough to have had a digger and construction workers in our car park which made for plenty of excitement and entertainment. Tamariki got to know the workers through the fence and cheered with excitement when they heard big noises or movements from the digger. This entertainment encouraged further play with the toy diggers and more stories around construction. With this we have seen many construction sites in the making in the sandpit, along with plenty of language around the different parts of a digger such as the “cab” and “rollers”. To say whakawhetai / thank you to our new construction worker friends tamariki got busy making banana muffins. In return we have heard that when they come back they welcome us to have a closer look at the digger!

To get to know our community more the nursery tamariki went on a walk to Albion square. There was lots of pointing to all things nature insight including the birds/manu and putiputi/flowers. We made sure to not miss a photo opportunity with the putiputi! On our way back some lovely locals walked with us back to preschool and asked tamariki all about their adventure. We nurture the value of Whanaungatanga (forming and maintaining relationships with our community). When we explore Öhinehou/ Lyttelton tamariki make connections and build relationships further with people and the whenua/land. Through tamariki enjoying these connections they build a greater respect for our community and the people in it.
