Celebrating our kaitiaki

Wow .. today we celebrated the number of children receiving kaitiaki badges and we noticed that our number is increasing . Riley articulated with clarity what a kaitiaki means to him earlier in the session .

" When you see something in the wrong place you can put it back where it goes and you be nice to all your friends" 

Amos shared " You need to be kind to people too . " Ke tahi te whakaaro pai , that's a good idea Amos and Riley! 

" Yes " agreed Jake " you don't hit anyone" Tumeke, awesome!

" I put a picture back on the wall that fell off . I am a kaitiaki " Chloe accurately recognised. 

Abigail and Lance noticed that Harvey had spent a long time placing the cones across the path , a space they wanted to go through. Together they did some thoughtful problem solving and with real manaakitanga / care they moved the cones so they could get through and carefully placed them back.

Showing care and respect for one another and our environment is really important to us all at kindergarten.
