Dear Parents / Caregivers
Nga mihi nui ki a koutou

" Love "

Love is a special feeling that fills your heart.
You show love in a smile, a pleasant way of speaking, a thoughtful act or hug.
Love is treating people with special care and kindness because they mean so much to you.
Love is treating other people just as you would like them to treat you- with care and respect.

We practise Love when we:
treat others as we would want them to treat us
say kind and loving things
share our things and ourself
show affection
think loving thoughts
take good care of the things we love
