<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">It is with sadness that we inform you that our lovely Chairperson Kristen Calder has resigned from her position on the Preschool Management Committee. Kristen has been so committed to our preschool and this has been a really hard decision for her to make, but she feels it is best for her to hand the reigns over. The teachers and Committee thank her for all her hard work and dedication.</span></div>

We have learnt lots about keeping safe in the sun, at the beach, and around water. The children, parents, and teachers enjoyed a swim at the Leigh School pool, where we were very lucky to have one of our Mum's Jade join us who is a swimming instructor. Jade made the swimming experience lots of fun encouraging us to blow bubbles under water and to kick our legs. As a community we have had to be very conservative as our water tanks suffered but this has also made for more learning conversations with the children around this precious resource. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Our AGM was held on 27th March. This was a very successful evening with lots of parents and community members attending. We look forward to the year ahead with such supportive and passionate committee members. Our next committee meeting is 17th April at the new time of 7pm.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Term 1 ends Friday the 19th April.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Term 2 begins Monday 6th May.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-size: 16pt;"><strong>Our teaching team philosophy:<o:p></o:p></strong></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-size: 16pt;">We value our caring, whanau environment, that promotes strong, mutual, relationships with parents and caregivers within our community. We support successful transitions for children as they move within the centre and then on to School. We embrace biculturalism and use Te Reo and Kapa Haka to share this precious treasure with our children.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-size: 16pt;">We cherish the ‘value of free play’ as a means of allowing children to select the activities that interest them currently, which empowers development of their own working theories. To support the learning within this philosophy teachers support children’s learning by supporting them in their play by encouraging them to problem solve, use positive social interaction, and consider questions which promote critical thinking.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-size: 16pt;">We encourage children to develop life skills which enhance their sense of wellbeing and belonging within our centre. Our environment encourages children to explore and develop their creativity through art, dance, music and drama. We respect that all children are unique and that they learn, communicate and contribute in their own ways. We provide a supportive framework which helps to build children’s sense of independence, experience success and meet parent aspirations for their development.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-size: 16pt;">All Children are encouraged to interact positively with their peers and teachers, by providing frequent opportunities for children to nurture each other in our mixed aged setting. This allows siblings to interact favourably, older children to mentor and younger children to feel welcome in our whanau setting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-size: 16pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-size: 16pt;">Within our curriculum we promote children to use their bodies and increase their perceptual motor skills such as crawling, climbing, balancing, dancing, jumping, running etc before children can master the more complex fine motor skills such as reading and writing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-size: 16pt;">We value the concept of children spending quality time with their own family and whanau therefore our hours are tailored to suit the challenges children face in a setting where they have to interact with increased numbers of adults and children than in a home setting. We support this vital social framework by implementing primary care giving with our babies and toddlers and promoting the importance of maintaining a consistent, experienced, stable team of caring and loving teachers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Kai Ora Whanau, its been a while since our blog has been updated as we have been a very busy preschool.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">A huge thank you to Tumbleweed for supporting us and supplying the plants from our Rodney District Council grant of $1000 for our outdoor environment! And another huge thank you to our amazing community for coming along to our working bee and getting the plants in. Our outdoor environment has taken on a new life and we are all enjoying the benefits of being surrounded by a more natural environment. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">We were recently visited by the Education Review Office (ERO) and performed a powhiri to welcome them which was well supported by our community and whanau. We look forward to the final draft of our ERO report which should be published by next term. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">We are now busy planning for our annual gala to be held on the 21st of October, this is our main fundraiser which is well supported by the wider community and we look forward to seeing you all there!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Look out for photo's coming soon of our working bee, outdoor environment and powhiri performed for ERO.</span><br />
