About 300 children, and numerous whānau, tutors and supporters turned up for some fun in the sun at the annual Educare picnic in Whangārei yesterday.

The kids come from the seven Educare early childhood centres in Whangārei, which get together every year for a pre-Christmas picnic at Barge Park.

Yesterday the children and adults took part in games, face painting, train rides, kapa haka and other activities.
