We performed at two Children's Day events this year. The morning was spent performing at the beach in Raglan for the Maui Dolphin Day and in the afternoon we headed along to Flagstaff for the Discovery Park Children's Day.
Children's Day – Te Rā O Te Tamariki – provides New Zealanders with an opportunity to give time to children and take part in fun activities that start new traditions as well as continue old ones.
Children's Day has five important messages:
Giving time,
Praise and encouragement,
Listening and talking,
Love and affection,
New experiences,
This year's key theme is ‘listening and talking'.
