Flexi report week 3 term 4

Kia orana Eastern Suburbs whānau,

This week has transported us straight to the Cook Islands, and with the mātaratara weather, this sounded like the best place to be! Our tamariki have enjoyed a plethora of Cook Island themed activities including frangipani flower art, tapa clay moulding, recreating the Cook Island flag and a wonderful story called Ina and the shark which ties in with our theme of friendship. Our PJ day on Wednesday was a hit with all things flannelette and snuggling in to enjoy the Moana movie. We were fortunate enough to take a few tamariki to Lynmore school to experience the musical stage performance "Seussical" which was a mash up of the Dr Seuss stories. Outside we had a donut shop that had loads of mini staff members whipping up colourful donuts and then to feed our hungry tummies - scones were hot out of the oven, for process baking.

Keep warm and stay safe this week and we will see you all during the week

Pyjama Day – Keeping Warm Together!
Kia ora Whānau,
With the cold snap expected to hit tomorrow, and temperatures forecast to reach a high of only 10°C with a low of -3°C, we've decided to have a Pyjama Day at kindy!
Children are welcome to come to kindy wearing their favourite pyjamas, dressing gown, slippers, or other warm and cosy clothing. Please ensure your child is dressed warmly for the weather.
If your child would prefer to change into regular clothes during the day, please pack a spare change of clothing in their bag.
To help keep everyone warm and full, kindy will provide:
• Toast
• Cereal
• Warm Milo
This means your child will only need to bring their lunch for the day.
We look forward to a fun, cosy day together and can't wait to see everyone's favourite pyjamas!
Stay warm and we'll see you tomorrow!

Flexi report week 2 - term 3

What a busy week ESP whānau!! On Monday the office area was still a popular spot with note pads and pencils added this week. Mat times have been a great time to guide tamariki navigating self regulation, and refining concentration and participation. Tues we had a visit from our old friends Mai, Ichicha and Aoba. We love it when ex kindy whānau come and visit again. Especially all the way from Japan! We also had a camp fire later in the day with fire safety concepts being the top priority. We have tried all sorts of fun physical games this week. These have been inspired by the Commonwealth Games. Our focus was on participation and trying your best. rather than winning. We also picked games to encourage teamwork and encouraging each other. And finally on Friday we celebrated International friendship day (a day later) with stories, giving gifts to each other and discussions on attributes of friendship. Have a lovely week everyone and see you all during the week. Ka kite.

Nau mai, hoki mai e te whānau!

Nau mai, hoki mai ki te kōhungahuna. We hope you and your whānau enjoyed a restful and refreshing holiday break, with plenty of time to relax, reconnect, and make special memories together.

We're excited to see our classrooms filled with smiling faces once again and can't wait to share another great term of learning, laughter, and success.

Kia kaha, kia māia, kia manawanui. Here's to a wonderful term ahead. Mauri ora!
