We would love to send a massive THANK YOU to the wonderful people at the New Zealand Community Trust for their generous funding of our beautiful new sun shades.

We now have a larger sheltered outdoor play area where the children can continue to extend their learning opportunities during these very hot months. Our tamariki now have shelter from the summer sun and its harsh rays which will no longer interrupt valuable learning opportunities. The direct sun was causing a big health concern and we needed our tamariki to be inside a lot of the time. Our new shades mean our tamariki are no longer restricted in where they can play and we know that this is what’s best for children. They also look make our playground look great!

We are so grateful and we wanted to share the final results with you. Thank you all again.

Ngā mihi nui from our tamariki, their whānau and from all the staff here at Thames Central Kids Kindergarten.
