Early learning at Alert Level 2
|
NZ will be staying at Alert Level 2 until the director general of health, Dr Ashley Bloomfield, is confident COVID-19 has been eliminated.
In a recent interview with Stuff, public health expert Professor Michael Baker said that from an epidemiological point of view 28 days with no evidence of new cases would provide a "high level of certainty" the virus had been eradicated.

Making sense of child temperament
|
Have you ever wondered why children respond differently to the same event? In an early childhood service you are likely to witness myriad responses to an event such as a fire alarm or a power cut. Responses could range from fearful, to excited to anxious, to calm and accepting.
A child's response to an event, in part, comes down to their individual temperament (upbringing and environment may also weigh in) and understanding the different temperaments of the children in a service can greatly improve the running of a room and the education and play opportunities available to children.
