Hi - if you have had any residual after effects from children wanting to make sense of the idea of an earthquake, we've put some hand outs next to the sign in sheets that might help 'earthquakes and other scary events'. We've been so impressed with lots of children's conversation about how they managed an earthquake at home... they've been practicing how to manage them at kindergarten each month! we even did a drill last week! we followed up with a mat time hui discussion and practice this Tuesday. Quote of the week was a worried 4 year old who told me he couldn't do his earthquake turtle properly - because he was asleep when it happened! It's a great time for families to think about what happens in a major event... and to ensure we have all your up to date information re: phone numbers and email addresses.
Don't forget to check the Whānau Manaaki facebook page if you are in any doubt about Kindergarten closing in a major weather event... it doesn't happen very often... I've been in this association 20 years and it's only happed 3 times! We also email all the families on the roll for the day concerned.... as we did on Monday- so watch out for that!
Above find a clip we often use on our computers during session, when we are programming a drill soon.... it's quite good for children to access the main ideas......take a peek.
