Bilingual Sessions at Paekākāriki Playcentre
Kia ora Kapiti!
Did you know Paekākāriki Playcentre offers a bilingual session on a Friday/Rāmere?
Especially if, (like me!) you are just starting to learn Te Reo from scratch, it's an awesome and supportive (and fun!) environment for you and your tamariki to give it a crack!
We have the amazing Aimee Porteners on site every Rāmere, she is our Kaiarahi Maoritanga, (our teacher of Maori culture, practices and beliefs) and each week she provides us with tools to help us with our language and engaging with our tamariki.
Even if you belong to a different Playcentre, you're more than welcome to attend our Friday sessions as well!
It's a really brilliant resource to have right here in our neighbourhood, so whether you are fluent and want to practice your Reo, or you're a beginner, or you just want to come and play on Fridays, then come and check us out! If you have any questions, drop us a line at Paekakariki@playcentre.org.nz
And here's a little something to get you started ..Ka rawe! ;)
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Art Trail
We had a total 0f 508 visitors for the Kapiti Art Trail--such a pleasure meeting everyone and sharing our interest in the Arts and Crafts of the Kapiti Coast. Looking forward to some summer activity here at the gallery. We will let you know about upcoming events.
