In this video, Coach Karen is using our "Five Little Ducks Went Out One Day" puppets with a group of children participating in one of our Active Tots sessions, and you can see just how captivated the children are.

While it might look like simple fun, puppet play is actually a powerful learning tool for young children.

🐥 Encourages imagination and creativity
🐥 Develops listening and concentration skills
🐥 Supports language and vocabulary development
🐥 Helps children understand sequencing and storytelling
🐥 Creates opportunities for social interaction and participation
🐥 Makes learning memorable through music, movement and play

Children learn best when they are engaged, and puppets have a wonderful way of bringing stories and songs to life. They spark curiosity, encourage participation, and help create meaningful connections between learning and play.

At Active Attitude, we're passionate about creating experiences that support children's physical, social, emotional and cognitive development, all while having lots of fun along the way!

Our next Active Tots session is on tomorrow (Tuesday) 9:30-10:15am. Further information about these sessions can be found here: https://www.activeattitude.co.nz/products/active-tots

✈️ Wishing Coach Ellie safe travels and an incredible time in the USA as she heads off on her Camp America adventure!

We are going to miss Ellie so much over the next few months. She has been a regular face at Active Attitude for nearly 14 years, having been one of our original members when the club first began. It's hard to imagine the place without her.

While we'll miss her dearly, we couldn't be more excited to see her spread her wings and embrace this amazing opportunity.

The children at camp are going to be incredibly lucky to have Ellie. Her energy, kindness, enthusiasm, and ability to connect with young people will make a lasting impact on everyone she meets.

All the best Ellie! We are so proud of you ❤️💛💙

Please join us in wishing Ellie well in the comments below.

Save the date: Sunday 15th November

We are on the lookout for passionate swim teachers and/or child educators to join our Active Attitude team.

If you (or someone you know) love working with children and want to train to be an Active Attitude teacher, we will provide all the training, guidance and support you need to thrive in our Swim School.

Ashleigh is running an “Introduction to Early Childhood Swim Teaching” workshop this Saturday 30th May, 4:00-5:15pm for anyone who is interested in learning to teach swimming and potentially working here at Active Attitude. She will be going over some of the key concepts and philosophies of our Active Swim Early Childhood swim programmes (for ages 3 months - 5 years), an overview of our Active Attitude swim curriculum and instructor training programme, to give anyone interested in teaching swimming with us a dive into what we do, without any obligations or expectations.

We want to introduce more people to what a rewarding role being a swim teacher is, and we want to remove any barriers for people that would like to dip their toes in before fully submerging themselves into full training.

If you know of someone with an excellent character and shares a passion of enhancing the lives of young people (and enjoys the early childhood age group), please send them our way and let them know about the opportunity.

For more info and/or to register for the introduction workshop, please e-mail: [email protected]

We are also planning an Introduction to Swim Teaching (school age workshop) later on in June - so watch this space!
