KIDSTUFF<br />
Lindisfarne Nursery School<br />
Lindisfarne Nursery School was<br />
established by Tricia Cuthbert in <strong>19</strong>87 and<br />
remains part of the Cuthbert family today.<br />
We are committed to Christchurch, to our<br />
community, our Lindisfarne families, and<br />
most importantly the futures<br />
and happiness of our children.<br />
We believe in developing<br />
children’s feelings of self-worth,<br />
and encouraging tolerance and<br />
understanding of others.<br />
Our teachers all hold a<br />
Diploma of Teaching in Early<br />
Childhood, and one holds a<br />
Diploma of Teaching in Primary<br />
as well as early childhood. She<br />
prepares the four year olds for<br />
school through an informal<br />
and brief daily ‘lesson’ time<br />
which the children love to take<br />
part in.<br />
We have a separate nursery<br />
with an outdoor area where the<br />
children discover and explore.<br />
We are a strong multi-cultural<br />
centre with committed teachers<br />
who embrace and celebrate<br />
diversity for our families.<br />
Morning and afternoon tea and a cooked<br />
lunch are provided, and we welcome<br />
visitors.<br />

Kids love CASPA!<br />
A child who’s ‘a<br />
little different’<br />
Children who are just ‘a little different’ – perhaps they’re<br />
clumsy, have difficulty writing or tying shoelaces, or<br />
prone to ‘meltdowns’, and struggle to fit in.<br />
To interpret and function in the world<br />
we need to accurately process information<br />
from our environment.<br />
Some children’s nervous systems<br />
may receive, sort and use information<br />
inaccurately (sensory processing) causing<br />
them to either under or over reaction to<br />
a sensation, or actively seek or avoid a<br />
sensation.<br />
This may cause distress for the<br />
child, family and teachers,<br />
as coping with everyday<br />
experiences like<br />
noisy classrooms,<br />
the feel of fabric,<br />
or moving in a<br />
coordinated way<br />
may present huge<br />
challenges. It can<br />
influence behaviour<br />
and interfere with<br />
learning, doing<br />
everyday activities or<br />
simply fitting in.<br />
No child is the<br />
same, each have<br />
their own individual<br />
difficulties.<br />
Therapy Professionals Therapists<br />
may be able to help improve the life<br />
of these children and those around<br />
them. Contact us at 3775280 or<br />

CASPA (Creative After School<br />

friends and try new experiences all within a<br />
safe, nurturing environment. CASPA offers<br />
working parents an affordable after school<br />
and school holiday programme that their<br />
kids just love!<br />
CASPA attributes its success to the<br />
variety of activities on offer as well as the<br />
convenience and affordability for parents.<br />

activities including sports, music, games,<br />
drama, arts and craft as well as fun trips.<br />

other amazing themes/activities!<br />
CASPA parents enjoy peace of mind,<br />
knowing their kids are safe and enjoying<br />
the benefits of a quality after school<br />
programme. Some parents and caregivers<br />
also enjoy government subsidies for<br />
CASPA. CASPA is Child Youth and Family<br />
