Another cracking programme at Waimea Kindergarten is teaching life cycles to its children with supplies donated by local families.
The kindy were donated eggs and an incubator for their care and have since hatched three baby chicks, according to teacher Kath McCauley.
“[The children] are learning the importance of caring for living things,” she says.
Kath says the children were also building confidence in taking responsibility and asking questions to consolidate their learning.
“One of the teachers [Rebekah Senior] is going to take the chickens home when they’ve grown a bit older.”
