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. 

Nevaeh making progress

The past few week have been very busy for Nevaeh, RDA has been wonderful in settling and continuing to work on Nevaehs posture. Nevaeh is always excited to see the ladies at riding, smiling and singing on each ride. We also have had Sam over for physio at the pool, this is a real highlight in the week, Nevaeh really enjoys working hard in the pool, just not so keen on getting out to get dressed. 

The past few weeks on the Coast has seen a wee bit of rain, so rainy day lunch times inside have required some inside entertainment, i have added a photo of Nevaeh enjoying a movie with her class mates, it was nice to see her enjoying herself alongside her friends.
