week 5

Nevaeh had afew days off school getting over a cold but came back to school happy ready to go, even started with adding an extra hour on her day and finishing at 3pm now. A huge achievement from Nevaeh was visiting Harold in the big Life Education truck. We lasted the whole time and had so much fun, especially enjoying the magic of the colored lights. Was lovely being able to be involved and enjoy something with the Ruma Tui outside of the class. 

Nevaeh once again has had her wonderful friend Voilet to play with at lunch time, they sure do have a special friendship. On Thursday we had RDA which seen Nevaeh ride a new horse, Reo! Nevaeh was happy to try something new and Reo was very good and took everything nice and slow for us. 

Weeks 2 and 3 of Term 4

What a busy couple of weeks Nevaeh has had again in Ruma Tui. We have been working on lots of turn taking, shapes and emotions. There has been some wonderful opportunities for turn taking with friends while playing out in the sun and also with some of the awesome resources we have. After a bit of patience and some false starts,  Nevaeh really enjoys turn taking and waits really nice for the next go. 

RDA has been amazing, Nevaeh has been a wee bit more interested in Sandy the horse, and waiting to say "thank your after her ride, also some beautiful riding skills and a wee bit of cantering. 

The class are also learning an end of the year dance, which we were able to join in a practice for the first time this week, and wow did Nevaeh enjoy this! She was in her element. I would say "dance" and there was the biggest smile and she would be moving to the beat. One of the photos is also Nevaeh with her wonderful certificate for her beautiful colouring in skills.
