Real Work

This morning mahi tahi/team work was key as children worked together to move our planter boxes. 

These planter beds were around the side of kindergarten, where Brownie and Silkie live and despite numerous attempts to keep our cheeky hens away from the vegetables that were growing they would still get eaten.

So today was the day that a lot of hard work and perseverance was needed to locate them to a new 'home' at kindergarten. Initially the children dug soil out of the planter beds into our wheel barrow. This meant that the planter box could be put onto a trolley, driven around kindergarten and put into place. Shovels were collected from the sandpit and others joined in on the work to help move the soil from the wheel barrow into the planter box. Kayne said "we have to work together aye" as he stood around the wheel barrow shovelling the soil out into the planter box with his friends. 

Others stayed at the old planter box site and continued to shovel soil into a trolley that was then unloaded into the boxes. 

As you can see by the photos there was a lot of interest and involvement in the real work that happened this morning. We cannot wait to share with you the progress as children continue to fill the planter boxes with soil and decide what to plant.
