This week my younger two children attended a one-week holiday programme that was hosted by an art/music tutor who had been my art tutor last year. It was a pretty full-on programme consisting of:
Day 1 Monday: Whakawhanaungatanga (getting to know each other) Art - painting & slime making day
Day 2 Tuesday: Music day and making music with different musical instruments
Day 3 Wednesday: Device day with laptops, mobile phones, tablets, PS4 (Play Station) digital games day.
Some were also encouraged to volunteer to do some gardening at the local school that was just next door which consisted of weeding some of the gardens and tidying up the grounds area before school was to start next week.
Day 4 Thursday: Outdoors games day with swing ball, Nerf ball i.e. get wet, ball games etc.
Day 5 Friday: Final day out at Rainbow's End theme park with endless rides from 10am to 5pm (7 hours less lunch and snacks of fun)
Needless to say that the whole week was fun-filled with new friends and mates to talk with. The venue was a community hall in Wiri and there were lots of mums helping out and making sure that all was well with snacks and support all day through.
Yesterday mine came back absolutely excited at all the rides that they were able to go to, and talked about the ones that they went on a second and third time as well as the ones that they avoided. A really neat way to end the school holidays with most schools starting next week on Thursday...
