Working with Steve on projects








Steveʻs arrival was awaited with eager anticipation. What would be the next project? As Steve came in the door he spied our poor old noticeboard. That started his mind ticking. What if he made a new frame for it and the children drew and added things that were really important to them ... a bit like a kowhaiwhai for Botany Downs Kindergarten. A BDK family history. Steve talked about creating symbols. Now thatʻs a hard concept. Steve showed how he could draw around Emilyʻs hand, cut the shape out with the jigsaw and create ʻSteveʻs Crestʻ. The designs would need to be not too big and not to small. The children busied themselves with creating their designs. Then it was time to cut them out. I wonder what our new frame will look like ....

The hail storm




Look what struck kindergarten today at pick up time! Not quite up to Papamoa standards where they were snowboarding on the beach ... but we thought it was pretty cool.
