Newsletter September

Kia Ora whānau,

We have had a very busy month this September, what a lot to celebrate!
The children in the infant and toddlers centre have had a ball with our current learning interest in physical play. Please see learning stories and photos to spot your child in action.*

*Please see Lisa regarding permission passwords to view your child's profile.

Another current learning interest involves the natural world and the concept of the Earth Mother (Pāpatuanuku) and Sky Father (Ranginui). Learn alongside your tamariki to enhance recall and to form connections between learning at the centre and the home. Gain further understanding of Te Ao Marama (The world of light), check out great link to Part one of a quick 1 min 25 sec youtube clip HERE.
- Stay tuned for part two!

On Friday we had wheels day, and what a success!
All of the children had something with wheels to bring; either a scooter, bike, trolley, skateboard or even rollar blades! We explored concepts such as taking turns and a few of the children were excited to become involved in trying new things.

REMINDERS:

#1- Next week we have parent teacher interviews. Please see the attached form to add your name to the time list. Interviews commence Tuesday evening through to Thursday evening.

#2- Nappies :) Please ensure that your child has enough nappies at the end of each day session.

#3- Whānau christmas party: Is any father or male family member willing to me santa clause this year? We are organising gifts for the children early this year to avoid any last minute panic. If your child has a specific interest please let us know so we can cater gifts accordingly.


Thank you for your support in enabling Giggle Pots to trial our new blog site. We hope to improve accesibility and communication within whānau and the centre.

Ka kite ano,
Giggle Pots manager,
