Visiting Geraldine Primary School

This morning Louise met a small group of children at school for their first school visit! These children are part of a small group who will be turning 5 over the christmas period and beginning their time at school in term 1.

On arrival to their class room the children joined others on the mat for a welcome and a story with their new teacher. There were some familiar faces who joined them in the class room, some friends who have recently finished kindergarten and started their time at school! Ka rawe - how lovely. This visit is put in place to support children with their transition to school. Seeing, feeling and experiences a small part of the school day will help them get a feel for what their time at school will be like (in conjunction with other visits with mum or dad). These visits reinforces and strengthens whanaungatana/relationships, a value that is important to us here at Geraldine kindergarten.
