Our Philosophy

Wisdom begins with wonder - by Socrates

To cherish the joy of families and the many different ways they come to us.

With Te Whaariki and Kei Tua o te Pae as guidelines, we recognise that each and every child is competent and capable, and we will adapt our pedagogy to support all learning. Theorists of human behaviour, Piaget, Vygotsky and Bronfennrenner, underpin our assessment and evaluation of children's learning.

Our Fabulous Carpentry Teacher

As you may already know, Gerald LeMesurier, (Ollie's) Dad built us this amazing Carpentry Hut. Not only that, he has been teaching us how to use the tools appropriately and given us projects to work on.
The first project was to make fishing lines using soup tins - very inspired.
Currently we are cutting up timber to build small boxes that we can fill with clay. Once this is completed we make impressions in the clay, e.g. hand prints, nuts and bolts, etc., AND then we fill the impressions up with Plaster of Paris - watch out for amazing creations coming your way!

    Thanks Gerald. I'm really looking forward to the children working with the clay and to the creations that they make.
