Supporting Big Heart Day
Here at BestStart St Andrews we support the Heart Foundation's Big Heart Appeal and hold a Big Heart Day in February every year. This year we celebrated by emphasising the colour red. We had red face painting, red balloons and we all dressed up in red.
Every day we encourage healthy eating and we have our Healthy Heart Award - but on this particular day we went for everything red, and had watermelon, berry smoothies, and tomato sandwiches. Our tamariki love the meals we provide here, with our amazing cook whipping up the treats each day.
There is no need to bring any kai with you when you enrol your child, as we have everything fresh here! As part of our active movement for the day we played with our parachute, bouncing balls up and down on it in time to the music. We made obstacle courses inside with our soft foam equipment, played some games of basket ball, music and movement at mat time with bean bags, and we also did our weekly trip to the Gymnasium right next door!
Our Kiwi room children also made some beautiful red hearts by creating with paint and natural resources.
