The Canterbury HGK Christmas party was held at the Belfast play centre.
The children sang us some wonderful Christmas songs they had been learning and practicing with their educators and nannies. This was followed by a yummy shared morning tea.
The high light of the morning was Santa's visit and rides on the ponies.

Outdoor Play at Petra's- One of our Educators on Waiheke Island.

Petra has a great garden for outdoor play which is full of exciting things for the children to explore. They enjoy climbing trees, riding bikes, looking at insects and plants. There are also lots of nooks and crannys which can be used for imaginative play and discovery as you can see.

Nelson Eel Outing!

Today we went on an outing to The Jester House. We explored in the garden. We found a hut made out of sticks and a concrete tiger. We had our morning tea together and then we played in the playground. The playground had its own sand pit with a ride-on digger (We had to take turns). Then we went to feed the eels.We fed the eels minced up meat on long sticks. They were very hungry and they slid out of the water to get the meat!
