Putikitiki

 We love playing on Putikitiki playground.  It's a great place to run, jump, slide, crawl, balance, and swing. These movements are important for our cognitive and physical development.

We are also learning to play games with rules, such as Duck, Duck, Goose.

Well Being Wednesday

Today is Well Being Wednesday, a day when we unplug and hop off our devices.
