LEARNING AT HOME
Te Whariki the early childhood curriculum vision for our children is for them to be “Competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society”.
One important aspect is to create a routine and special rituals.
Children get a lot of comfort from routines and rituals. It creates a sense of security. The following is one of many possible ideas to help achieve this.
Remember play and learning go hand in hand
Through play children learn and develop. They develop their language skills, emotions, creativity, problem solving, physical skills and social skills. They learn about the world around them. They are introduced to science, maths, engineering, technology, literacy, sustainability, environment and art as they explore their world.
Tips for working from home with your child/children
