A School Holiday activitiy.
10am - 10.20 whānau 'Pūkana' exhibition tour.
10.30am - 12pm Poi making workshop.


Be inspired by a tour through the ‘Pūkana: moments in Māori performance’ exhibition and make your own poi to take home. Watch kapa haka tutor Moana Ormsby demonstrate poi and learn how to swirl them.
Bring the tamariki for a family-friendly tour by the learning team of the exhibition ‘Pūkana: moments in Maori performance’ at 10am. All ages with supervising adult welcome. The duration of the tour is 20 minutes.

Come along to a poi making workshop at 10.30am. This workshop is best suited for children 8 years and older. Caregivers can grab a coffee but are expected to supervise their children during the programme. We will make our own poi from t-shirts (bring an old t-shirt, if you can) and wool, then learn from Moana how to make them swirl. Please book in to secure a spot in this free programme. bookings@hetohu.org.nz
Moana Ormsby is the Kaiwhakaako at the National Library and kapa haka tutor. The learning team will make the Pūkana tour fun for tamariki.

Have you been thinking about coming along to Playgroup but wondering how much work it is?

Good news, not much at all!

Our aim is to provide a safe supportive environment for children to play and adults to meet friends in our community. Many hands make light work and we try to keep it simple.

When you sign up to attend a session for the term (e.g. Tuesdays) you go on the roster, which means you’ll get 2-3 duties per ten week term where you do either ‘Kids morning tea’ or ‘Adults morning tea’.

🍏🍊🍌🥝🍍🍉

Kids morning tea involves bringing some fresh fruit and putting it out with other food that playgroup provides. Setting out the children’s plates, water, cups. Then tidying it up (but others help too).

Adults morning tea means bringing some milk from home and then preparing coffee and tea pots. And tidying it up. ☕️

We all chip in to set up activities for the children at the start and then pack up at the end. 🎨 🚗 🖍 🧸 🚂

If you need to leave early or arrive late that’s totally fine, everyone helps out as they can. We all have lives and naps to work around! 😴

Come along and check Playgroup out, first two sessions are free!

If you have any questions please email WadestownPlaygroup@gmail.com or ask the key contact at a session.
