We have chosen this photo because we believe it shows Family and the Community joining together supporting Children's wellbeing and learning. This photo was taken from a Christchurch Preschool where Whānau were invited to a fish n chip night at their childs centre. We believe learning for tamaiki is constant and their supporting networks need to work together to make it the best experience possible. Even in situations like this photo where you may not think learning is happening, it is, and its important.

The children are engaging in the natural environment and have been provided with resources that they can invent or imagine with. This allows them to interact socially by having conversations about what is going on. Therefore they are building a relationship with each other and this offers the opportunity to watch and imitate each other. It also encourages their independant investigation and exploration. This supports the children to gain confidence as competent learners, experiencing and inventing new ways of playing with the physical environment around them.

Involving the community with children's experiences is a positive way to expand their learning and development, and is something that we can incorporate into our centres. pictured is a local rest home interacting with tamariki in a centre. ]]> 2017-08-10 01:07:04 UTC https://padlet.com/canterbury/nbaxqkx9buqu/wish/180549699 Principle Three - Family and Community | Whānau tangata https://padlet.com/canterbury/nbaxqkx9buqu/wish/180558379 This image shows the connection between the child and parent in the morning of drop off. We found this important because as Te Whāriki talks about cultural appropriate ways of communicating we can see this with whānau. For example, by greeting and by being welcoming they give us the trust to look after their children. This principle shows us the importance of building trust with the whānau and their children we are looking after as we can build on those relationships for the benefit of the child's development. Involving community within the centre allows each parent to interact with each other and build relationships. For example, on our placement we had our matariki evening where all parents and whānau came together to have soup and watch the children perform. Also, having the children and parents interact together by playing spotlight. This shows the importance of whānau and community as it gives the children confidence that the parents are actively involved within the community of centre.
