We’ve had a lovely, gentle start to Term 3, easing back into familiar routines and some of Nevaeh’s favourite everyday activities.
Nevaeh continues to enjoy working on her sorting and matching skills, and each morning she helps set up her day alongside Olivia and Jackie. This is helping to build her understanding of time awareness by updating the date and arranging the visual schedule. Looking through the photos of the day’s activities and placing them on the wall gives Nevaeh a clear plan for the day ahead and helps her feel prepared and ready for what’s to come.
There’s always plenty of opportunities for drawing, colouring, and creating artwork. These creative moments continue to be a good way for Nevaeh to express herself while developing her fine motor skills.
Music, as always, has been a highlight of the week. This morning, Nevaeh shared a beautiful jam session with Marilyn. One of her favourite moments is when Marilyn plays the guitar, giving Nevaeh the chance to improvise alongside her. It’s always a joy to see her confidence and creativity shine through during these musical experiences.
We’re also looking forward to an exciting term ahead! Next week, Nevaeh will be joining a drum circle with her peers, and later in the term we have outings planned to the museum and the Kiwi Centre. We’ll continue our weekly visits to the library whenever the weather allows, and Friday afternoons will include peer reading sessions in the classroom.
As the weather begins to warm up, we’re hoping to enjoy a group outing to Lake Mahinapua, with a special stop at the local pub where Nevaeh can spend some time playing their piano…a treat we know she’ll love :).
