Uplands Kindergarten
Over the last few weeks, the children have been making different Christmas pictures and gifts to take home at the end of term. As a Christian kindergarten, this time of year is important for us to celebrate Baby Jesus's birthday. We have a wonderful selection of books which tell the story of Christmas and we read these at mat time and during session. On these warm sunny days, we also take books outside under the shade sail and read them. Reading together and storytelling are valuable interactions for fostering children's oral language.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
