Pre-school
We have kicked off the year with a new addition to our
programme and the children love the ‘Dance and Move’
class that Stacy runs for us in the Dance Studio. Our younger
children enjoy learning new ways to move to familiar songs,
whereas the older children are good at creating their own
movements and expression.
The children are also enjoying the new whare that was
delivered over the holidays. The ware's open-ended structure
22. EVERGREEN
offers lots of different options
for play. It can be a quiet place
to sit, listen and watch, or a home
corner or a magical palace. As we develop
this term’s inquiry around family identity and culture, the
‘pre-school house’ has been a great conversation starter for
children to talk about their family home and those that live
within it.
