Out in our Community
Library Excursions In the Nursery we have recently begun our weekly Wednesday Walk to the library for the tamariki to join in for the Toddler Time sessions. The Nga tamariki love being able to stop to explore different plants along the way, collecting some for the walk and couldn’t get enough of everything they could see around them, with trucks, cars and people walking by saying hello, pretty impressed by our mode of transport.
Our Little learners are always so excited to settle in to listen to stories about animals and fairytales, puppet shows and even guitar music sessions. Beaming smiles, excited pointing and giggling is ever so present during these special mat times. We can’t wait to join in next time.
By getting out and about in the community our toddler tamariki are able to discover more about and build, connections with their natural, physical and social worlds and community around them, develop confidence for exploration and develop a respect for nature. Storytelling and reading picture books help build oral vocabulary which is good learning towards their oral communication and reading skills. Children develop their thinking skills, including creative thinking and imagination.
