Ellerslie Term Two 2023
We are thrilled to have added to our teaching team with the lovely Liv, who so many of you have already told us how highly your children think of her. Liv has been teaching for 3 years at Bear Park and was keen to try another model of Early Childhood Education and is loving it so far!
Ellerslie Term One 2023
A reminder that news time is a chance to share experiences your child has had outside of kindy. If a prompt is required some ideas include a shell, feather, or perhaps a drawing. You may even wish to provide a photo. If needed, teachers are able to print a single photo or previously prepared news page if sent before 8am on the Monday morning.
Ellerslie Term Three 2022
Mosaic Wednesdays- This term, our Wednesday activity will centre around a creation by the tamariki of some large mosaic pavers for our outdoor garden area. The tamariki will plan, draw, design and then create each paver in accordance with connections to our local curriculum/community.

Glendowie Term Two 2023
At Kindy an important skill that our tamariki develop is a sense of confidence and independence. This looks slightly different for each tamariki, but we work toward:
Independent dressing and undressing
Giving things a try before asking for help
Carrying in their own bag and hanging it up with their name tag.
Taking responsibility for their things, eg putting a jumper away in their bag.
