Tui Class is for our older tamariki from 3.5 years to 6 years old.​

​

The Tui classroom is a peaceful place for focused work.  Learning for tamariki is enhanced by the use of beautiful Montessori equipment where they can explore concepts of geography, science, mathematics and language.

 

Children are encouraged to learn independently, practise their knowledge and then share this with other tamariki and kaiako so we truly become a community of learners.

This follows the Māori concept of tuakana/teina.

​

The classroom is the children’s environment where they are encouraged to maintain its beauty through more advanced practical life skills, such wiping tables and doing dishes. Haruātai Park is our second classroom where we learn respectful ways to interact with our natural world. 

​

Alongside whānau, the kaiako are helping to raise peaceful, respectful, compassionate citizens who are aware of their responsibility to maintaining the greater good for everyone.
