Celebrating Outside Play Day
Also known as empty classroom day.
We all know that outside play is absolutely crucial for children. Play is a fundamental right of childhood, and should not be seen as frivolous, instead it should be seen as absolutely crucial.
At Kaurihohore we believe play is a fundamental part of the curriculum and that children should be given ample opportunity to self-direct their own play both inside and outside of the classroom. Device free.
Not only does play assist all areas of development, but it also assists in social skills and allows children to develop friendships based on common interests.
Children learn to manage risk through play and are able to develop a real sense of self. Not only that but active play contributes to physical fitness and wellbeing.

On the 30th of November our whole school will be self-directing their play all day long. Children are welcome to bring tools along on this day or various loose parts that they would like to use as part of their play. All adults are also welcome to come and join in the play, along with supervised pre-schoolers :)
Let's celebrate the power of play!!
In Zone Students For 2018/19/20
At the moment we are experiencing quite substantial in zone growth. For a school our size this can be difficult to manage as we have limited classes to place children in and no other buildings to create classes in.
If you are living in our zone and intend to send your child to our school we would greatly appreciate you getting in touch with us. If your child will start in 2018, 2019 or 2020 we need to know. This allows us to plan effectively for the future.
You can let us know by emailing admin@kaurihohoreschool.co.nz with your details and your child's details.
Thank you in advance :)
