Indigo's storying

We are great at creating stories based on visual prompts... as well as making them up ourselves. The team generated prompts in our every day programme are showing as we work in every day learning.......

We've had a lot of families ask us about our dance repertoire..as the keen dancers are bringing the language and moves home with them! We explore this idea of social dance moves in our daily Kūpapa group experience... where a kaiako member facilitates a group of group games and/or music so we find a whole range of ways to develop  social understandings and musical concepts. Here's a clip of a french folk dance from You tube ( not us obviously) that we sometimes use to help teach the moves and the way we should respond to instrumental musical cues. We have a lot of keen Jibidi dancers at present!  We're sure you will all be folk dancing at home too......:) should we apologise in advance?

Maddy the Author and Illustrator

Well done to Maddy... making a book and being brave enough to share it at our mat time hui. You might have noticed that lots of friends are very keen to explore the notion of the mechanics and content of books... we've had lots of fun with the character and plots!
