We love to take any opportunity to visit our friends at our local kindergartens and ECEs. New students in Autahi bring with them rich experiences, stories, relationships and knowledge that they have gained during their pre-school lives. We know that our students have so many happy memories of kindergarten and treasure the relationships they formed with their teachers. Our hope is to continue this learning journey in Autahi.
Having worked hard on our taniwha story for the Arts Celebration, we felt that we had something worth sharing more widely, and decided to take our taniwha on tour.
If you were out and about locally this week, you may have glimpsed a taniwha at large in the streets of Miramar!
Swishing our cloaks was a lot of fun!
Our first visit was to Miramar Central Kindergarten.
It was a good challenge to perform our show in a different space. We certainly brought the drama!
Next stop, Kidz Corner.
Then, a well-deserved snack on the field and a chance for the taniwha to run wild in the sunshine!
Sharing our taniwha has been a wonderful way for our students to stay connected with their kindergartens. We are very grateful to Miramar Central Kindergarten and Kids Corner for hosting us and giving the Autahi children such a warm welcome. Our students have had a real-world experience of Positive Purpose: sharing something they have made with others and getting to hear the kind and encouraging words of their audience in return. It has also been a chance for some of our students to make a return visit their own kindergartens, bringing their school class with them, which is pretty special.
