School Holiday Update

Just a quick reminder that with the school holidays starting next week, Wildflower Education will be running on reduced hours for the two-week break.

I still have a few spots available for holiday tutoring on:
Thursday 1 October
Friday 2 October
Friday 9 October

These sessions are a good chance to do a little catch-up, work on anything your child has been finding tricky, or get organised before Term 4 starts.

If you’d like a session, please book using the link

Real-life writing at Wildflower Education

Today Sophia worked on writing for a real purpose. She created a letter to Meg’s owner about all the wonderful things about Meg.

It wasn’t just a worksheet — it was real writing for a real person

She used...
Similes – “gentle like a lamb” and “fluffy like a cloud”
Metaphor – “soft cotton candy belly”
Strong vocabulary – “affectionate”, “friendly” and “gentle”
Sentence structure and punctuation

This is something you can easily try at home too. Encourage your child to write a short letter to a family member, friend, teacher or even a pet owner. Ask them to include a simile, some describing words and their own ideas.

A simple writing task can become a great literacy activity when there’s a real reason to write.

🌼 School holiday tutoring is now open!

Do you want to give your child a little boost over the holidays without making it feel like more school?

I’ve got just 3 days available:

🌿 Thursday 1 October
🌿 Friday 2 October
🌿 Friday 9 October

Holiday sessions are a great chance to work on those tricky areas, catch up on things they’ve missed, keep skills ticking over, or get a head start on what’s coming next term.

🌸 A little bit of learning. A little bit of confidence. A little bit of Wildflower magic.

Only a small number of sessions are available across these 3 days. Book using the link below.

Wildflower Education has been named one of the Top 5 businesses in Morrinsville for the People’s Choice Awards.

If you’ve been part of Wildflower Education, had a child attend tutoring, or would simply like to support a local small business, you’re welcome to vote for Wildflower Education using the link below.

This recognition means a great deal to me. Supporting local children as they build confidence in literacy and numeracy is at the heart of what I do.

I’m very proud that Wildflower Education has made the Top 5, and I’m grateful to everyone who has supported the business along the way.

At Wildflower Education, I like to set up the learning space around the child’s individual needs.
Today, Angus is using word cards to help support his writing. Having the words right there gives him a little prompt when he needs it and helps him work more independently.
The resources don’t need to be complicated, they just need to be right for the child.

A little moment from my Friday classroom. This student was so relaxed reading to Zoe, our registered service dog. 🐶📖

Zoe is also a familiar face in the Wildflower Education classroom, where she helps create a calm and welcoming environment.

Reading doesn’t have to feel like a chore. Find what your child enjoys and start there. ❤️

Wildflower Education has been nominated for the 2026 Harkness Henry People’s Choice Award!

I put a lot of care into making tutoring work for each individual student. Lessons are tailored to where they’re at, how they learn and what they need help with. Sometimes it’s about literacy or maths, and sometimes it’s simply about helping a child believe in themselves a little more.

If you’ve supported Wildflower Education, I’d really appreciate your vote 🌻📚

Having my classroom in a rural setting means real life learning opportunities.
Children can observe animal behaviour, build empathy and respect for living things, and ask questions that spark curiosity and deeper learning.

Our newest lambs are in the pen by the parking area, so feel free to stop and have a look before or after your tutoring session. Please stay outside the pen so Mum and her lambs feel safe and settled.
