Tall Poppies is a national magazine aimed at gifted children and their families

Experts agree it is important to identify a gifted
child to help them achieve their full potential. Parents and schools can help
identify a child who shows signs of giftedness or special talent.
If
you think your child may have a special ability and they attend an early
childhood centre, talk to their teacher. They
can advise you about what to do next and provide contact details of those who
can help if more support or information is needed.
You
could also contact the New Zealand Association for Gifted Children. The organisation supports gifted students and
their families through a range of services, and their regional branches
organise outings, activities and talks for students and parents. They have a
library of books on giftedness, which are available for members to borrow. An
online forum on their site provides a place where parents can discuss some of
the issues they face in parenting a gifted child.

Life Education with Harold the Giraffe - Green Tent
Life Education with Harold the Giraffe - Green Tent
Wednesday 18th February 2015
Today the Green tent were very lucky in meeting Harold the giraffe!
We learnt what a V.I.P was and how we were ALL Very Important People!!
Looking in the mirror to see who the V.I.P was!
We also watched a story about Harold and his friends at the park, which looked at feelings and how we can keep safe.
Then we had to work out what our body needs; food, water, oxygen, safety, shelter, sleep, excercise, washing and love.
We also learnt a new song:
"You're very special person,
There's nobody like you.
You're wonderful and amazing
And everyone else is too!"
Thanks Harold!!
