Nate continues to adore his days at Bear Park. He really does benefit from the caring and supportive teachers they have there, and the exposure to other children, and the great educational 'provocations', as they call them! Whether it's painting, singing & signing, playing with suction cups, or in the sandpit, our boy loves it all! He can still get a little upset at drop-off and pick-up, but settles quickly once there and once home. Overall we are just so lucky to have found such an awesome spot for our little man.
Here is the March update from one of his Kea Room teachers, Gabriella.
Nate, the Kea Whānau welcome you with open arms! It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know you during your transition period and more recently as a new Kea boy! Although you found it a little unsettling at first with the change of face and routine, you have definitely become content and confident in your new surroundings with your new friends and teachers.
Your love of stories and music is so clear at mat times when you will happily hum and clap along with songs with that beautiful smile lighting up your face.
Speaking of lighting, it's great to see your interest in the light box provocations, especially the coloured suction cups that had you in fits of giggles, or at the moment with all of the brightly coloured shapes on it. You love looking at each shape individually as well as creating patterns with them altogether.
You navigate your way around the playground with such confidence and love to watch your friends climbing which has inspired you to try some really difficult challenges! You quickly went from climbing the planks on your hands and knees to trying it standing up with a little help! How wonderful!!
You fearlessly tackled the rope ladder despite it being pretty tricky and I was amazed to see you climb up the large metre high boxes using the foot holes with only a little help from CC to begin with. I was even more astounded to see you courageously take on the monkey bars! You held on for a few seconds before dropping to the bark in fits of giggles!
Nate, you are an absolute joy to be around and nothing seems to hold you back from becoming the most awesome little adventurer! We are already so proud of you and we look forward to getting to know you better and to seeing what new challenges your time in the Kea room will bring! Kia ora!
