HAPPY EASTER

I wish you all a happy and Blessed Easter. Take time to pray as a family and enjoy some time together. God Bless you all. I am off to the beach - hoping the paddle crabs don't bite this weekend! - your child may have already told you- I was ATTACKED- by the biggest crab ever last weekend - scars to prove it. Have a restful 5 days off Room 5, and be good for the Easter bunny, I have emailed the bunny and told him you are the best. xx Mrs Rush

Stranger Danger

Hi whanau, just a timely reminder to talk to your children about stranger danger. Role play with them, getting them to use a stern, loud voice to tell unwanted people to go away, to name the problem, eg.  "Leave me alone now, I do not want to go for a walk with you"...
Get them to practise, walking up tall and having head up looking about them. 
Role playing is an excellent way for them to learn these skills and to practise them and talk to you about stranger danger.

Pope Francis

It is very exciting that Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergogligo is to be our new Pope Francis We pray for him.
