New additions to the Apii
 |
As you may now notice we have upgraded our carpark/front garden area. We would like to thank our friends from Playscape for designing & constructing this beautiful garden.
 |
Keep an eye out for our "Water Warriors" who's task is to keep our new plants and soil all watered and healthy

If we are lucky and we look after our ponga logs we may get to see new fronds growing from the tops of the logs......

Water Safety
Today we had a visit from Karen & Y from our local YMCA. They spoke to us about many things that we need to know about keeping safe around water.
The main message was for tamariki to make sure they ask an adult before entering any kind of water play.
Thanks YMCA for teaching us about water safety through action songs, and a big thanks to Y the whale for keeping it fun:)

Niuean Language Week
This week we provided our tamariki with opportunities to get involved in celebrating Niuean Language Week...
There was lots of cooking; coconut bread, banana and coconut cake, and a spinach and corned beef dish with green bananas. We also got busy with the arts; paper weaving and making kahoa (flower lei).
Our teacher Mary taught us an action song, while Deidre helped us make our Niuean flags.
Jane and Luisi (friends from our local community) came to read us some Niuean stories, and to end our week celebration, Mama Tere and Rangi cooked up an island feast-delicious!
Fakaaue Lahi (thank you) to our tamariki for wanting to get involved and participate, and also to all our staff for supporting our Niuean culture!

Shake Out
Everyone, everywhere should know the right action to take before, during and after an earthquake.
Thursday 15 October is the International ShakeOut Day of Action. New Zealand will be the first country to participate this year, at 9:15am!
We have been preparing our tamariki for the nationwide earthquake drill by practicing our 'Drop, Cover & Hold' procedure at mat times. We have also been using the 'shakeout' website to learn more about keeping 'turtle safe'.
We encourage all our families to have a look on the 'shakeout' website & be prepared to take part in this event this Thursday morning at 9.15am.
