In our last session with Sentia from Talking Matters we discussed things we wanted to improve on over the next few weeks with our babies. Our mama chose things that were age appropriate to their child to focus on...
I love listening to our mama, papa and their pepi converse on the van and telling stories. A fav word at the moment with all our pepi at the moments seems to be "no". I think we all remember a time when our tamariki were good at saying no!

It doesn't last forever mama and papa! Hang in there! 😅

This year we have spoken alot about our waka, who is on our waka and how if we work together we will move forward together.
Our hoe represent each person at our kura, kai mahi and tauira included.
This reminds us that none of us are along in our journey and that as a team we can achieve our goals.

NZ Civil Defence are testing the Emergency Mobile Alert (EMA) system on Sunday 14 June, between 6-7pm ⚠️📲
If you have a hidden second phone for your safety, we recommend turning it off or putting it in flight mode for the duration of the test (6-7pm on Sunday 14 June) to ensure it’s not discovered when the nationwide Emergency Mobile Alert is sent.
Some mobile devices set to silent mode will still emit a sound when the Emergency Mobile Alert test is sent, so switching to flight mode or turning off your device is the only way to avoid the loud sound of the alert.
You can find more information about the Emergency Mobile Alert system, including a factsheet and list of FAQs at 🚨 https://getready.govt.nz/en/prepared/ema

In addition to our Matariki Tree each year we get our students to put together a menu for our Matariki celebration which we are combining with our end of term prizegiving.

If you would like to join us to celebrate Matariki together comment below or pm us and we will send you an official invite!
It is the last week of term!

Nau mai, haere mai whanau.
