Extras on offer at Country Gate
We are delighted to offer extra activities and experiences here at Country Gate
Out the Gate
We are so excited to offer a Bush School Programme 'Out the Gate' every Wednesday.
Our program is currently for our four year olds and aims to educate our children through child-led, hands-on learning such as;
Adventuring and exploring
Hut making
Hand tools – whittlings, hand drills, hammers, saws
Flora and fauna identification
Eco crafts
Knots and shelter
Campfire cooking
Playball
Using sport as the means, we provide our tamariki with a sound base from which to develop every aspect of their lives.
The aim of Playball is to introduce young children to constructive and enjoyable sport participation through various age-appropriate programs. All of the programs have a "multi-activity" approach, ensuring a competent foundation in all the popular sports played at school.
Classes are taught in small groups to ensure maximum participation, while also allowing individual coaching throughout the class.
Playball is:
- An international sports program
- A chance to try activities such as hockey, football, tennis and many more sports in a safe space!
- A chance to learn new skills and improve, improve, improve!
We encourage a lot of practice time, so the children can use the skills and techniques they have learnt. Above all, your child will have heaps of fun!!!
