Welcoming

Child: Manha Date: July 2013 Written by: Natasha

Welcome to An-Nur Manha! We are very excited to have you and your family joining our centre, and just in time for the beginning of Rammadan! Although you were a bit quiet to start with I could see you taking an interest and being involved with all areas of the curriculum, in particular art and creativity activities. I can see you are already establishing friendships. Recognising learning Manha I can already see you developing a range of positive learning dispositions which will help you in your life long journey of learning. You sense of mana whenua or belonging is already being felt as you have the courage and curiosity to take an interest. By being involved you show me you are developing trust and playfulness as you are assured your mana atua or well being will be met. Where to next? Manha I want to continue to support your sense of belonging, cultural identity and assure you your wellbeing will always be cared for. This will allow you the confidence to freely explore and continue to strengthen your establishing friendships. This will in turn encourage you to use a wider range of English at An-Nur.
