Let's talk about kai. 

Some ways we can talk about kai is to describe how it looks, smells and feels using our senses.

November 

Slip, slop, slap, seek and slide into summer. 

We all want our tamariki and early childhood community to be able to learn and play outdoors, but as educators we need to support children and families to know the risks of the sun’s UV rays.
