HE PI KA RERE

He Pi Ka Rere is about providing children with the skills and awareness to develop a positive, lifelong relationship with movement and nutrition. It is based on traditional techniques used by ancestors and aims to not only help children build important fundamental movement skills and an understanding of the importance of good nutrition, but support early childhood teachers to be confident in the delivery of a range of movement and physical activity options, and understand the importance of activity and skill development for children from a Maori approach.
