SOCIALISING
In the Manuka classroom we prepare tamariki for primary school with our extensive Set for School programme.
Our eldest children spend time in our Set for School space practicing their literacy and numeracy skills with our dedicated Set for School teacher, along with special responsibilities to foster independence.
Tamariki are encouraged to play both independently and in a group during free play but we have special rituals that bring us all together such as mat times.
One of our key social occasions in the Manuka classroom is our meal times. We all sit and eat together practicing table manners, self-help skills and sharing conversations.
ENVIRONMENT
Our environment is set up with the 16 Areas of Play in mind, ensuring our tamariki have a range of learning available to them. We are lucky to have a large outdoor area that we utilise with a wide variety of outdoor resources, activities and games.
Activities
We value the trust and confidence parents place in us. Our commitment to parent satisfaction is unwavering. We strive to create a strong partnership with parents, ensuring open communication, regular updates, and a supportive community.
