It was another Steve day today and the children worked on building a seat for Katie and Rocky to sit and have tea parties at. Steve discussed some ideas at the morning meeting and drew some sketches based on the children's ideas. A large group of children were then involved in the process of sawing a large tree log and creating legs for the stool. It took quite a lot of team work to hold the log still enough to cut and it took quite sometime. This was a big project for the morning and it will be another busy week next week making a table to go with the stool. Katie and Rocky will be so pleased to have somewhere for their cups of tea after a hard performance. Steve wondered if the stool might need a tail or perhaps some whiskers to make it look like a animal, so I wonder what type of animal it could be. We'd love to hear your thoughts!
I can't wait to see the latest creation on Thursday! Well done on some fantastic ideas!

Madison was very excited to show me the bench when I arrived to pick her up today. I love the whole rustic look that this project has.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as we got home she had the paper and pens out, drawing the bench and adding things to it, because Steve had asked them all to do it....
Logan was so proud of himself, he told us he got to split the wood in half. Well done. This is only Logan's second time with Steve but already he is a favourite.
ReplyDeleteI am feeling just a little bit guilty here. I seem to remember one child suggesting that the seat might be better off upside down i.e. with the curved side up. I soooo wished i had now, truly listened. Imagine a bench with a curved back! What kind of animal might that be? sorry guys.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we could use the other half of the log to create our hippo, cat, dog, horse or whatever. Promise i'll listen this time. X
What a great looking seat....
ReplyDeleteStephen showed me the seat and he reckons Steve is the best and he got to help. Awesome the kids love the interaction, involvement and confidence building
