Healthy Heart Week  ... 10-14 Feb 2014

We pride ourselves in the healthy environment we provide for all our Wintin Kindy kids.  So what better way to celebrate than a special day or week of both Healthy Heart & Valentines Day!!!.  Te Whariki (Early Childhood Curriculum document) along with NZ Heart Foundation both advocate:  Well Being - Mana Atua; children develop knowledge about how to keep themselves healthy (particularly our hearts)  - through healthy eating habits & exercising our hearts ... we were 'bopping' away to Hearty Fun for most of the morning.  What a great way to exercise our Hearts!!!  Good on us !!!                  Both our Mon, Tue & Wed group ...

And our Thur/Fri group ...

Both days meant we were involved in a fun & fanciful day of REDNESS !!! Hearty Fun CD played throughout the day with some 'heart beating' moments of fun & frolic!!!  Tks for exercising your hearts everyone ... Miley Coveney was especially intrigued ... hand on your heart Miley!!! Check out our Kindergartens South Facebook page for more pics ...

A  BIG tks to all our families who brought along some RED morning tea.  We have some VERY creative & artistic people within our Kindergarten community family ... We raised $77 to be forwarded onto NZ Heart Foundation.  Good on us!!!
