Having some farm animals visit kindergarten last term was a big deal for tamariki at Kidsfirst Ngaire Larcombe too.

There were opportunities to meet a lovely white donkey, scoop up velvety bunny rabbits for a snuggle or saddle up for a fun pony ride.

“They absolutely loved the animals visit,” says Head Teacher, Kate Norman.
