Walnut the Clown

keith — Sat, 12 May 2012 08:55:14 +0000

Walnut the clown is really Aiden, Amelia and Patrick’s grandfather.
They all arrived together and the show began with Walnut putting on his make-up and costume.
A very good plan for children to cope with this clown . He got a bit mixed up and needed help from Bruno……..

Country Kids at Mapua Easter Fair

keith — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 08:41:50 +0000

Country Kids had a stall at the Mapua Easter Fair this year selling old style, home made country baking. The day was a real success and so much fun.
This was a real team effort from staff and parents of our centre with a huge variety on offer from slices and biscuits through to complete cakes.
This was a great opportunity for Country kids to get out into the community, to gain some valuable exposure and to take part in this very popular community event.
Money raised will go towards our fundraising efforts.
A huge thankyou to our parents who supported this, and especially to Lindsay and Kelly for organising it.

Fun at Whenua Iti

keith — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 20:29:00 +0000

Last Tuesday, Country Kids four year olds had an adventure filled morning at Whenua Iti Outdoors.
They swung, balanced, ran, crawled, dodged, played, laughed, concentrated and threw themselves into the morning’s activities – oh, and they got blindfolded too!!
Along with literacy, numeracy and social skills, our children’s physical development is an important focus at Country Kids.
Whenua Iti’s ‘Littlies Explore Whenua Iti’ programme provided unique experiences which built on and challenged our children’s abilities.
