Liz Weir the Storyteller Visits

This morning we had a special visitor arrive at kindergarten asking to share a quick story with the children. Liz Weir is a well known storyteller/puppeteer around New Zealand and grabbed the children's attention instantly.

Liz brought with her Mitch the cheeky monkey who liked to make us all laugh "because you can't be sad when you laugh" he said. Children found humour together as they listened and watched with anticipation not knowing what was going to happen or be said next. The humour that Liz used appealed to the children who were in hysterics as thye learn't more about Liz's monkey Mitch. 

Liz commented on how excellent the children's listening skills were - a great example of the manaakitanga/care and respect that happens here, something we value here at Geraldine Kindergarten. 

Kia Ora, thank you Liz for coming to visit us today. We look forward to seeing you in the future!
