The hospitality of those we visited made our trip so rewarding and this day was no exception. After a train trip from Stavanger to Kristiansan we caught the ferry to Denmark. Henrick, a teacher at the kindergarten was to meet us and take us to Hobro. A steward on the boat was mortified when we said we were going with a man we didnʻt know and didnʻt even have a second name for! He vowed to check this Henrick out before we could go off with him! Henrick teaches at ʻMarcusʻ Kindergartenʻ. Marcus used to go to this kindergarten before he went to Mangere Bridge kindergarten. What awesome hospitality we experienced. The whole team of teachers welcomed us on the Sunday and took us to a Viking Village, followed by a magnificent meal. After spending the night at Henrickʻs house we went to Marcusʻ Kindergarten. Twenty five children and four teachers, in a family atmosphere. The children were roasting apples over an open fire. How delicious! Later in the day it rained and as usual the children donned raincoats and gumboots to play in the rain. What a lot of learning we saw taking place. Containers were filled. Drips were explored and the puddles experimented with. We had to wonder what our parents would say if their children played in the rain. We just might ask.
I know that all of my children love playing in the rain. Archie thinks that splashing in the puddles would be great fun!!
ReplyDeleteGeorgia would like to catch the drips and Benji would like to splash people!!
I'm keen to give it a try!
Yes all the sumners love playing in the rain too. The puddle at the end of the road up to Kindy is the halfway highlight most days! Sophie thought that playing in the rain at kindy all the time would be great although "i'd have to be more careful on the monkey bars"
