The project today was to complete Katieʻs friend. At morning meeting the next steps were outlined by the children. Legs, arms, hair and many other bits. What a rush there was to go to help Steve. Jayden was adamant that Katieʻs friend needed a guitar. He chose a circle and drew on some spots to drill to string the string through. Ruby had the great idea for the hair and we had lots of helpers to style the hair. The children went on an arm and leg hunt to find pieces of wood that might be suitable. It was then that Archie suggested that perhaps we could use some of the driftwood that he had found on a beach in Wellington (and carried back on the plane. We LOVE driftwood at kindergarten). What cool arms. The next thing to do was decide on a name for Katieʻs friend. Over the past week we have taken name ideas from the children, so all that was left was to vote on a favourite. Guess what ... Katie the rock chick now has a friend called Rocky. There was nothing for it but to head to the dance studio for a bit af a dance happening.
Thia ia sooo cool. Jayden really gets a buz out of helping Steve create things.
ReplyDeleteI think the next thing we should make is a dragon to protect the rockers - Jayden fillet

Archie has loved having Steve at kindy and will miss his inspirational meetings. It's not the only thing Archie will miss now he is starting school! I'm sure Archie and I will pop back in to say "Hi" to Steve soon.
It remains my absolute joy to work with the children of BDK; they are for me, creative, thoughtful and enthusiastic about their work; truly people I love to be in the company of
