✨ Ruru’s Lantern: A Kiwi Halloween Story of Light and Courage
This Halloween, our tamariki at Sugartree Lane Preschool are celebrating in true Aotearoa style, with imagination, laughter, and a touch of forest magic. Inspired by the ruru (morepork) and the glow of the moon, this gentle story reminds us that even the darkest nights can shine bright when filled with friendship, courage, and fun.
Join us as the tamariki explore the wonder of light and shadow, dress up in playful costumes, and bring our playground to life under the stars.
