Hello from your teachers!

 Kia ora to all our families/whanau!

We hope you have been keeping well and safe in your bubbles. You have noticed we have been quiet the last week as we have been caring for those children whose family need the support during level three and also getting our centre and good spring clean ready for all our children to return back we hope very soon. We have been missing each and every one of your tamariki.

While we continue through in level 3 for now we thought we would like last lockdown, put up a few links to our children’s favourite online stories, dances and songs. We will add an extra post with some of our teachers mat time videos from last time for your children to revisit and for our new families have opportunity to watch.  Feel free to send us photos on your child’s blog of what they have been up to during their time away from childcare, we love seeing these! Your teachers may take some time to add extension play ideas for your child that stem from observed interests or curiosities on their blog so keep an eye out for those.

Take care, arohanui and we hope to see you soon!

Charity, Kerryn, Kelly, Alice and Zoe
