Hi Family and friends,

It is lovely to see that the weather is beginning to warm up, just in time for our long weekend. Thank you for ensuring that your child has a bucket hat each day to keep them sunsafe. If your child does not have a hat, they are asked to play under the hall eaves in the shade.

Today your child will bring home their new library book and an invitation for their grandparents or other significant adult in their lives. We are have a grandparents day next month, please help your child to deliver their invitation via any communication that is appropriate. 

This weekend is a long weekend and we have a teacher only professional development day on the Tuesday. The children will resume school again on Wednesday 28th of October.

This week we have also been focusing on friendships and your child will bring home some friendship heats to share with you, we will continue with this work throughout the next few weeks and we build strong friendships and discover what good friends are and how to make friends. 

Have a lovely weekend,

Jen

Hi Everyone,

What a lovely first week back. We welcomed 4 more friends and their families into our room this week.

This week the poem book, reader and note books came home on Thursday. Today we visited the library and the children chose a new book. Please remember to bring book bags each day and the library bag sometime before Friday. 

The weather is warming up and it is our school policy that all children and staff wear a wide brimmed hat. Your child is welcome to leave their hat at school each day if that makes things easier. If your child goes to after school care, they will take their hat with them. It is lovely to see that the children have their clothing named and that you are providing options with colder mornings and warmer afternoons. 

Have a lovely weekend

Last minute walk-ins welcome! Talk starts at 7pm.

Bring a koha if you are able.

Parenting can sometimes feel isolating, so this is a chance to connect with other parents, share experiences and take away some practical ideas to support our tamariki at home and at school.

Join us for an evening with Emma Cutts, a specialist educator with 25 years of experience and a mum to two neurodivergent boys.

Emma will share her knowledge and experience around how our brains work, the power of co-regulation and how connection can support wellbeing and behaviour in a neuroaffirming way.

We’ll explore:

* Understanding how our children’s brains work

* The power of co-regulation

* Supporting behaviour through connection

* Helping our tamariki become more regulated

* Supporting ourselves as parents too
