This week in Hiwa Ako, we have been creating an Anzac Wreath, whilst learning about Anzac Day. Today our Hiwa Ako tamariki went for a hikoi to our local Matamata-Piako Civic and Memorial Centre (located out front of our library).

Here we placed our beautiful wreath, that we have created with great time and care, remembering those who served and died in military operations. Tamariki painted our wreath green, before helping glue on our handprints, painted red to represent individual poppy flowers.

We sat at the memorial, refreshed with a drink, and spoke about Anzac Day. We read the words on the memorial, and tamariki asked questions about Anzac Day. We shared how the memorial was for our brave soldiers who went to war, to protect our country. Our tamariki shared that soldiers went to war to ‘keep our country safe’ which is very true.

Our tamariki were very proud to leave their Anzac wreath for the local community to see. On our way back to Rose and Clive, Amelia W noticed the flags flying down the town centre, that have a poppy on them - great spotting Amelia! Tamariki were excited to see these poppy’s.

A very special day at Rose and Clive - we have welcomed Caity and her tamariki, Reeve and Lilah, with a special mat time.

Caity is our new Centre Manager who brings experience, genuine care and a calming warmth to her practice and leadership. Her passion for tamariki is felt through her wairua.

We’re excited and grateful for her to be on our journey!

Join me in welcoming Caity, Reeve and Lilah to our whanau ❤️

When it rains, we play in puddles
When the sun shines, we play in puddles

Water brings out an incredible amount of team work, creativity and joy to our tamariki, so every opportunity to be in a puddle is a learning opportunity at Rose and Clive 💧

Today we’ve made cookies and about to jump into Santa crafts! We’ve enjoyed ice blocks with no sun and gaps in the weather.

Merry Christmas Rose & Clive Whanau ❤️

We had a special visitor show up in his sleigh today! Our tamariki were all so enticed and absolutely stoked to be given a gift! This year we supported early literacy and reading through our sustainable book swap, which Whanau and children loved! We then did face painting, wrote letters to Santa and made reindeer food alongside a healthy dose of ice block.

Thank you to everyone who brought in a book, everyone that came to celebrate and those who couldn’t make it, you should have some photos coming your way!

Last week Hiwa Ako Tuakana were lucky enough to visit Santa’s grotto in town! They had an absolute blast on their hikoi!

Last night, we came together for our team Christmas function. We spent a few hours picking fresh flowers, learning how to do a spiral bouquet and all about the flowers we were picking. It was relaxing and fab way to wind down over drinks and kai..

Special thanks to our team for their hard mahi! Its been a ride with a change of ownership and all that comes with a new perspective and change. I appreciate your willingness to try new things for the benefit of our tamariki.❤️

Special thanks to Rebecca at Petals and Produce in Matamata for hosting us! Look out for her at the local market 🍓

And now, into the crazy season! 🎄
