REMINDERS;
As it is warming up we will be asking the children to put on their hats and to have sun screen applied. Can you please provide your child with a named sunhat each day, as all children are required to have one on outside. We apply sunscreen to the children before lunch, so please can you ensure that you have applied sunscreen in the morning. If you would like your own sunscreen applied, can you bring one in for us.
Please also remember to bring along your child's wet bag each day.
If tamariki or adults are suffering from general illnesses ie hand, foot and mouth, ringworm, slapped cheek, headlice, conjunctivitis, etc they will be asked not to attend preschool until condition has been treated. Anyone suffering from vomiting or diarrhoea must not attend preschool until 48 hours after last symptoms.
CONGRATULATIONS;
Aimee & Nick Nelson on the birth of a wee brother for Bronte.
Tiffany & Hayden Smith on the birth of their daughter Ryle
Marie & Michael on the birth of Beau, a sister to MJ.

Atawhai News
Over the last month the children have been enjoying having the opportunity to create and lead their own board stories using the magnetic or Velcro story pictures. This has led to chid-initiated group times, tamariki helping kaiako to lead group times, as well as role playing different scenes and scenarios. After a recent PD our kaiako have been using ancestral stories with tamariki, which our tamariki have then been using to recreate and retell their own stories with each other – you may have been hearing some of them being retold at home.

Transition to School
On Monday the 9th September, we held our second Transition to School talk at Swannanoa School. We had a number of parents attend and we hope that it answered any questions you may have had and informed you of what starting school will look like for your child. In the New Year we will again be holding these talks at the school.
