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.

What's the weather like today?

During our 'Transition to School' programme held everyday after lunch we sing a certain song before we discuss what the weather is like today. Jiya is normally fast asleep and Grace sometimes but today I smiled as I walked past and saw Grace teaching the song to Jiya and using the writing on her book to represent the teachers writing on the witeboard. Our song goes like this - What's the weather like today, like today, like today. What's the weather like today on this 'Tuesday'. It's 'sunny and windy' outside today, outside today, outside today. It's 'sunny and windy' outside today on this 'Tuesday'. Tino pai Grace and Jiya
