Kākāriki Nature Play

02/01/2022

Hi everyone, wishing you health and happiness in 2022. Just a heads up that I won't be running a nature programme these holidays. I hope to be back in April for a couple of days if I can manage to squeeze it into my busy life! In the meantime, enjoy this glorious weather and stay safe. Arohanui, Anna xx

Fridays For Future
It's definitely time to up our love affair with Nature. Any child who is lucky enough to have family or teachers in their lives who make sure the child has time in Nature has the chance to bond with the natural world. So much depends on people who love the Earth being prepared to push for the changes which will ensure a future.

I really hope everyone is still in one piece after yesterdays storm! Luckily the weather is looking good for Tuesday, and we will wait and see for Thursday! Looking forward to seeing the tribe at Nga Manu on Tuesday morning. Still a few spots left on Thursday's session.

2 wonderful days at Kaitawa this week, with gorgeous tamariki totally up for immersing themselves in nature play (and occasionally the river, literally!). Boat races, kawakawa tea, hut building, river clay and much more. It was so good to be back, thank you to all the families who joined us. See you in July 😊

Hi Everyone, Kakariki Nature Play will not be running a holiday programme these holidays. I am having a break, mostly for personal reasons and also partly because of the ongoing uncertainty. But we will be back in 2021! With the weather warming up (a little!) it will be easier to get the kids outside, so enjoy the wonderful Kapiti Coast environment that we have and we'll see you in the new year ###

Today we had a focus on ropes, knots and pulleys, and discovered some aerial artists and engineers in the group! .

What a glorious day at Nga Manu today! Kids had a ball making swings, harakeke weaving and lighting our fire with flints. Oh, and we had baked potatoes with baked beans for lunch, yum! Check out this cute story - Big 'un teaches little 'un, who teaches the next little 'un, and pretty soon they are all having a go! We did actually light both fires with the flints today, but unfortunately didn't get it on camera, too busy having fun with the flints :)
