Uplands Kindergarten

Head Teacher from Uplands Kindergarten

Handwriting requires you to have the ability to move one hand while the other is still. Babies do mirrored movements (bilateral movements) eg waving with both hands, grabbing toys with both hands. Children who do not have good co-ordination often have difficulty with dominance eg. what hand to write with, write back to front. When the mid line is mature children can hop and skip (between 4 and 7 years old) and one part of the body can do one thing different to the other. Why not come and see us at Uplands Kindergarten. We currently have spaces for 2-5 year old children at our sessions.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the Conversations column of your local paper.
