Today at 9am Irene, Rui, Tamara, Rachel and the children headed off for a walk to the Onekawa Park. As we are celebrating ten years of KIDSPACE this year, one of Irene's initiatives was to purchase a tree for the park because we often take the children there. The children love to walk, run, play sports. They also love to explore nature, collecting acorns and looking for birds nests while they are at the park.
When we arrived at the park, the Onekawa Kindergarten children and teachers were all having a look at what was going on. One of the council workers was busy patting the soil around the tree as they had almost finished planting it. It seems that there was some confusion, with the council workers thinking that the tree had been donated by the kindergarten.
We had a group photo by our new Pohutukawa tree. We can now go to the park and see our special tree and watch as it grows bigger. When Irene asked what coloured flowers the tree has, Emily was very quick to say, "red". Jaz and Paige had a feel of the leaves. Once this special wee moment was finished, we walked over to the other part of the park and enjoyed our packed morning tea. Later, the children went for runs, fossicking for acrons and matching them to acorn 'hats'. We also sung Ringa Ringa Rosie several times.
