Recently there has been great anticipation and excitement as
we have been counting down to our ‘Party Day’.
Finally the day arrived and on Wednesday the 27th of
September we held our ‘Party Day’ but there was more to it than just a
party. After some sneaky secret planning
and organising we managed to surprise Kate as well, it was a party to celebrate
Kate and her time with us.
“Today you
are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.” Dr Seuss
At Mairtown Kindergarten we believe it is really important
to celebrate everyone’s time with us.
Over the years we have developed a lovely and meaningful farewell ritual
which we surprised Kate with today. As
part of our farewell celebration Kate got to choose a game, she was adorned
with some beautiful fabrics, she received one of our beautiful hand made pottery tui and had some delicious kai. After morning tea the party theme continued
with face painting, dancing and party games including musical bumps and
statues.
Kate has been with us since August last year as a long-term
reliever, yet during that time she has become a valued and treasured member of
our team. Kate is a lovely teacher with a gentle, caring nature, we have seen
her grow and blossom in the time she has been with us at Mairtown, and I know
she will be missed. Today was a wonderful opportunity to be able to say thank
you to Kate for all her hard work, to wish her well in the future and to
present her with a lovely gift as well as a gorgeous card beautifully
illustrated by the children.
“You’ll be
on your way up! You’ll be seeing great sights! You’ll join the high fliers who
soar to high heights.” Dr Seuss
The end of
term is fast approaching, we hope you all enjoy the term break and we all look
forward to seeing you back for term 4 on Monday 16th October.
