Our visit from Harold the Giraffe
Harold is the poster boy for the Life Education Programme, and he came to visit us at BestStart Pioneer today. He was whakama (shy) at first but after a short while he became really confident. Harold held conversations with the tamariki about how we keep ourselves healthy. Together they played games to test out how much they knew about food groups. Then an even bigger surprise happened; when a life size Harold popped through the door to give us hugs, high-fives and sing a banana song. This experience provided the tamariki the opportunity to learn about keeping themselves healthy, developing skills at having open ended conversations along with developing their listening skills. Great fun had by all!
