yeah. Permanent fourth teacher

It is with great pleasure that we announce that we now are a diversified kindergarten with a fourth permanent teacher. Karen has been appointed as our .775 teacher and it is great to know that this is a permanent placing. The team is working very competently together, taking up opportunities to be involved in professional development with each other and discovering commonalities of their teaching practises which impact on the learning environment of the kindergarten.

Term One 2010

Staring back for a new year was fantastic. Eveyone, children, teachers and parents/whanau were pleased to be back and the children just got straight into the swing of things. there were many opportunities for us to extend their learning through the interest in Butterlies and their life cycle, Frogs and Tadpoles and Sea Life. Later in the term there was a flurry of returning interest in swords and armour related to Knights and also paper planes, which provides many challenges for the teachers as well as the children. Some of the children were also very interested in sending little cars hurtling up and down pipes and exploring the forces of gravity.
