“At times like this there may be some anxious children worried about COVID 19 and how it might effect them. For anxious children we find Social Stories help give them a clear reason why we are doing what we are doing. This maybe useful for your family. A big thank you to one of our teachers Mrs Michelle Major, who runs our Life Skills programme and works in our Akonga Rerekētanga department, for creating this story and visual calendar.”
