Last Day at Montesori Helensville

Hikawera has been attending Montessori Helensville for the past few months. It has been a wonderful experience for him. I love their culture of learning and exploring. It was great to go into the school and not have screaming chaos, just happy children busy with their activities. Also ALL the teachers speak with soft voices, no raising of voices. makes such a big difference.

Here area some photo's of his last day there. It was spent, so I was told, busily doing all his favorite things.
Way to go Hikawera!!
This is where Hikawera put his lunch box and messages to mum.
All around the centre there are activities on white trays.
They can range from everyday things to art, music, alphabets.
You name it. A child goes and gets a tray uses the items then puts them
back where they got it from, with assistance from teachers.
Each morning they do story writing.

Here are 4 of the staff that were present on Hikawera's last day. Sharon is on the right.
They will miss him.

"I'll be your best friend?!"

My baby never fails to have a “such a cutie” moment every day. I don’t know what it is about him, perhaps knowing he is the baby, or simply that he was such a good baby, that I have noticed these little moment s more.   I have to share this one with you. It has happened twice this last week. We are sitting in the car and Rakaipaka calls out and asks for something. Usually it is a lolly or chocolate or something I don’t have at that time. Anyway I call out ‘no’, and the response comes back, “Oooh, Ill be your best friend”!!! Ha How cute is that!! He is all of what 2 years old and is already trying that line on his mother!!! Now the question is posed…. Which one of his siblings did he hear that from!!!!

Volleyball

Teancum really enjoys playing volleyball. He jumped right into the teams at boys high, and within a couple of weeks, he was in the 'A' team. They came runner up this season to a solid Hillcrest school team. An awesome group of boys.
