WHAT TO EXPECT?
…BIG IMAGINATIONS!
NATURE PLAY WITH FRIENDS,
CREATING TOGETHER & BEING THE TRUE WILD-SPIRITED YOU!
Wildhearts is a space to feel free and happy, together.
A space to unwind, connect with your peers and follow curiosities.
Tamariki have options of inner space activities (art, craft, yoga, movement, drama play, dress up, construction, design etc) or outer space (nature, explorations, games, building, climbing etc). There is a daily offering of something special to do, learn or accomplish, and we offer support for kid-led projects and initiatives.
We bring in Guest Artists (music, art, storytelling, kai etc ) throughout the term for extra excitement and learning for all.
Our code is kindness, creativity and respect to self, others and our environment,
Our main focus is for kids to enjoy being their true, wild creative self. We can’t wait to meet your wildlings and hear their bright ideas!
GETTING THERE
Tamaraki attending Wildhearts are collected from the office foyer of Lyttelton Primary at 3:10pm by a Wildhearts Leader and walked down to the Union Chapel venue at 40 Winchester Street, in a 'walking school bus' manner. Children who attend other educational realms can beam directly to our HQ via their caregivers personal method of interplanetary travel.
DEPARTURE
We have introduced the idea of a set pick up time at 500pm. This allows kids to have a complete experience each time they attend.
We all say goodbye at the same time in a circle for reflection/relaxation and feedback from kids and leaders.
Some kids experience anxiety around not knowing when they are going to be picked up and they really appreciate this set schedule.
Of course you may pick them up earlier if need be.
