Steve, we have a problem


As you can see our most beautiful clock has a mind of its own and has a split at the bottom.
We talked to the children about it ...
Jayden said .. "Itʻs broken. It canʻt choose the time anymore. Perhaps we could put paper on it and tape it on or we could make a triangle and put it in there."
Mia said, ... "Itʻs all wonky now. If you put it up it goes wonky. We could put some glue here and put another piece of wood here."
Logan said, ... "Get Steve and he could make another one."
Madison said, "Itʻd ripped. itʻs broken. Put a piece of wood there. We could make a bobo dog tomorrow."
Marshall said, ... "Itʻs broke. The teachers should fix it with cellotape."
Gypsy said, ... "Itʻs got that over it. You could put one of those over it (wood)."
Jemma said, ... "We could fix it with glue. That might be better."
Zak said, ... "Itʻs broken. Maybe Steve could fix it. I donʻt know how. I think he might get fire wood and chop it and put it inside."

When we asked the children what wood project they might like to work on next they said ....
Alex ... a house or the Eiffel tower
Mia ... a door
Kees ... a train or a table
Jayden ... we could make a shelf for the guinea pigs
Logan ... a pancake made of wood
Ryan ... a wooden chair to have our lunch
Madison ... a bobo dog
Marshall ... a horse with the fire wood
Gypsy ... I want a dog with four legs
Jemma ... I think we need a horse for kindy
Zak ... I think we should make a tiger with that seat

I wonder what will transpire ....

  2. it's no more intriguing than the Eiffel tower or a wooden pancake especially if you've read the earlier post on the volcanos at the kindy

  3. Now I'm left wondering - where did Mia plan on putting the door...?
    And is Logan's wooden pancake a sad indictment on his mum's cooking?
