Thanks so much to the Pyes Pa Community Newsletter, we are once again very grateful to receive your donation and are excited to be able to purchase some new reading books and a new toddler swing. Thank you again for your support.

Earlier this month we joined up with the Oropi playgroup and caught the bus into Tauranga CBD. The tamariki were delighted with the bus trip as they sat giggling together in the back seat. We visited Tauranga library and joined in on toddler time while the older children got to create some art over at a workshop at Tauranga Art Gallery. Finally a quick visit to the waterfront playground and back home on the bus. Great to get out and about exploring with friends.

A number of our older children are moving into Pyes Pa School this year. This a great transition as they know the school grounds from being at Playcentre and know some of the school children already who were previously playcentre kids. We started a new tradition for the children starting school, by creating a beautiful new Korowai where we will sew on a material handprint of each of our departing tamariki, as a way to recognise this journey. We also have a little ceremony and shared morning tea to celebrate.

Our regular Playcentre meeting was held this week, which is a great way to get involved and have a say about the way we run out centre. We started planning our Matariki celebration and looking forward to progress with fixing our deck roof to ensure it will be watertight very soon.

Our library is looking a bit tired, so if you have any old books suitable for children 6 years or under, we would really appreciate these.

​Want to join in the fun at Pyes Pa Playcentre, come for a visit - all new families welcome. Sessions run from 9:30-12:00 Tuesday and Fridays.

Bicycles for kids less fortunate than ourselves
