NEWSLETTER
AUGUST 2008
Haere Mai. We hope you have all kept safe and dry from the recent rain and flooding in the area. Thank you to the parents/whanau who were prompt picking up their children during the evacuation of preschool due to flooding.
Kerry Ferigo has completed the photos of the children and family/whanau at Swannanoa preschool. Thank you to all the families who participated, this is a great fundraiser for Swannanoa preschool.
Another great fundraiser we have underway is the selling of native seedlings; these are available for $2.00 per plant. An order form and information about each plant is available at the front entrance. If you would like to place an order please your fill in your form and return it with your payment to the office.
News from the Over Two's
We look forward to the arrival of the new playground in the over two's in the next few weeks. The new playground will be more challenging and stimulating for the children. We will need to do a working bee in preparation for the new playground and to make some final touches to the outdoor environment. A date will be announced for this shortly. We look forward to seeing you there.
Kerry is going on holiday back to her native England for the month of September. Staff and children wish her all the best and already anticipate her return.
During Fire and Earthquake safety week the children and staff practiced evacuations using our new installed fire alarms. The new meeting area is now at the new gate next to the playhouse in the preschool. The children were great during this trial evacuation, following the instructions of their teachers and remembering to run to the new gate.
News from the Nursery
Thanks to the committee for allocating funds for our new shed to store the children's bikes, climbing equipment and general resources.
The nursery children have been enjoying getting outside and utilizing our great door environment since the rains and floods have cleared.
Extra events to add to your calendar:
- Liz Weir is coming to read stories to the children on Wednesday 17th September.
- Helen Moran for 'Stories Alive' Monday 6th October and Wednesday 9th October.
Upcoming events for September:

Monday 8th Silly Hat Day. Make a silly hat or just wear the silliest
one you have.
22nd-26th Deaf Awareness Week - we will be learning some signing
during this week
Wednesday 24th Wheel-a-thon. Decorate your bike and bring it to
preschool.
If these days aren't the usual days your child/children are booked in, you are welcome to come down and participate in these events as long as you stay with your child.
Please keep your speed limit to 10 km when entering and leaving preschool.
Complaints about the speed at which people are traveling in and out of
the preschool are being taken very seriously. In the event that people
don't adhere to the 10km speed limit, further action maybe necessary.
The safety of all children is paramount!
