Dear Parents and Whanau

Just a friendly reminder that we are currently collecting children’s Christmas presents for the annual community distribution organised by the Auckland city mission in collaboration with Papakura Marae.

What did we learn through play this month: December 2020

There has been a range of activities which has caused children to investigate and explore their learning environment.

Dear Families of Strathallan Preschool,

2020 – What a year!

As the year comes to a close, many of us have begun reflecting on the past 12 months of our lives.

What have we been learning:

• Our older nursery children have been very interested in caring for their baby dolls.  They have especially enjoyed placing blankets over their baby dolls and using wet wipes to clean their dolls.

As the weather is getting warmer, outdoor play is becoming popular with the juniors. Children are showing an active interest in sand play, water play,

Our current learning focus:

We have been learning about healthy eating. With upcoming celebrations -holidays are filled with many sweet treats, it is the ideal time to teach our children about healthy eating choices.
