Sensory Class
During the May School Holidays Hamilton Parents Centre introduced our very first Sensory Taster Class . It had a great turnout of 14 energetic children on its very first launching ! We thank you all who participated and contributed valuable feedback for us to plan the class further .
Sensory classes aim to provide a group environment for children to benefit from the activities while mums do not having to worry about cleanup afterwards ! Materials are planned , prepared , provided with no hassle for the parents . It is also a great way for kids to learn and interact , while mums catch up with each other casually over coffee . If you missed out on the classes we have provided some of the activities on page 6 so you can try them at home too .
Newsletter
We are working on moving our newsletter from a printed format to an electronic one . At this stage we are aiming for the August / September to be the first one . We are excited by this new format and we hope you enjoy it too . We are currently checking our membership list to make sure we have email addresses for everyone . For those that we don ’ t currently have an email for , you can expect a phone call from one of our committee members soon , we don ’ t want anyone to miss out ! We will still be posting out the Kiwi Parent Magazine every 2 months .
