Hello 2026 :)

We’ve had a busy first couple weeks of school, and Nevaeh is getting back into the swing of things. She’s been spending time with her new classmates and teacher Miss Lang, playing music with Marilyn and Amy, attending her first RDA session of the year, and having a swim with Sam. She’s also resumed her daily learning with Jackie and Olivia, and has been all smiles. Next week we go on a fun small group excursion to the Industrial Heritage park where will we ride the trains and tractor sled, and explore some old artifacts from days gone by.

Looking forward to a great year! Lots more learning to share along the way…

 

Swimming with Sam

Nevaeh has been enjoying her time in the pool with Sam this year. Bouncing, singing, and resistance training through the water keep her highly entertained. She especially loves when Sam sways her back and forth while moving down the pool- she finds it very calming and soothing, and gets really peaceful and regulated during these moments. Thanks to Olivia for taking me each week! A highlight for sure.

Week 5 Term 4

Nevaeh was excited to get to music this week. She jumped across the room with joy. Her fingering of the keys is getting much better and when reminded Nevaeh will use her left hand. Today she did especially well playing Colours Shine and Playground Fun. In her formal lesson,  she played her favourites Pepeha and Ode to Joy.

Before lunch, Nevaeh went back to the music room to lay with Jackie. She practised ‘Chopsticks’, her new favourite song.

Swimming didn’t happen this week, but here are a few photos from last week’s swim. Nevaeh is so confident and happy in the water.

 

Swimming

Nevaeh was excited to go for a swim in the town pool today. I was lucky enough to join this smiley little lady. The water is one of Nevaeh’s happy places and we could see it on her face today. She was all smiles and really tried hard to complete all of her exercises. The three of us had  a great time in fhe water. Nevaeh giggled as she tried to splash us.

Nevaeh’s new life jacket fitted her perfectly. It is great to see you so happy Nevaeh.
