New Zealand still on high alert

The measles virus remains an ongoing concern in New Zealand as outbreaks continue to occur across the country. So far in 2019, 99 confirmed cases have been recorded primarily in Canterbury, Auckland, Waikato; with the Bay of Plenty, and Northland, with Southern DHB areas also reporting incidences.
Infants and preschoolers are most at risk of contracting the highly contagious and sometimes life-threatening measles virus which means it's more important than ever for early childhood educators to stay up-to-date about the disease and the best ways to prevent infection.

Dinosaurs are a source of fascination for most tamariki at some stage and as a result are a great theme to plan into your curriculum.
Due to the wide range of excellent resources, dinosaur themed activities can encompass every aspect of the early childhood environment, from outside play to quiet time on the mat.
This week we feature some dino-themed craft ideas to put a bit of ROAR in your day.
