Following on from children’s curiosity about the fire in our local community earlier in the year at McDonald’s, Howick Kindergarten teachers noticed the ongoing conversations amongst children along with exploration through play, where children were making sense of the local event.

This took us on a spontaneous learning journey to support the interest of our tamariki as we began to engage with the Fire Safety programme. To enhance this experience we had a visit from this the NZ Fire Service at Kindergarten. Our tamariki were very excited, and experienced an environment where  connecting  links with  the wider world are affirmed and extended.
