Teddy Bear's Picnic

Last Thursday was a beautiful sunny day, perfect for our Teddy Bear's picnic. The whole centre and a few helpful parents took a drive over to the park on the Marine Parade in Napier.
The children were very excited as they belted up in the cars with their teddies. Once there their expressions were priceless when they saw the playground.

Everyone had a blast. The children loved the playground, and it was great that we were fenced in. As you can see in the photos the children loved climbing up the steps, the swings, the tunnel and the giant abacus and naughts and crosses. The big hit of the day was the blue slide and the seagulls. The seagulls hung around trying to get a taste of our delicious baked goods but were chased away by the children. The children thought this was hilarious and alot of fun, it was gorgeous to watch.

Louise had been busy the day before baking treats for our picnic. When it came to morning tea the children sat on picnic rugs with their teddies and had a feast. There was cakes and cookies, fruit and tea and scones for the parents. Not only were we here for a teddy bears picnic but it was a special day for our friend Jack. He turned 2!!! So to celebrate mum baked a delicious chocolate cake to share with all of us. Thanks Jack's mum and to all our lovely parent helpers for spending a day at the park with us :)

Meet and Greet

Last night we had a meet and greet at the centre. It was great to spend time with some of our parents in a relaxed environment.
As well as chatting, we started some mosaics that we will put into our outdoor environment when it is completed.
Here are some photos of last nights efforts! Feel free to drop in and add to the mosaics so we can finish them!
