Dear
Mead Room families and friends,
Last
week we were discussing camping and the resources we needed, the only thing
lacking was an area to pitch our tent.
We have finally done it!
James – I went to the hills
camping. A fire to keep warm. I was
helping Uncle Darren put the fire on. Used matches to light the fire and cooked
sausages. We stabbed them with a special fire pin to hold them over the fire.
Connor – I’ve been with Daddy
and Jakey and Connor, outdoors, in a tent, in a sleeping bag. It was orange.
Tom T – I slept in a caravan
Flynn – I had marshmallows.
I cooked them with a fire. Using sticks. We used sticks to stick the fire.
Turn taking for ‘tent time’ has been
ably negotiated. A two person tent with
20 children eager to go camping could have had interesting outcomes, but we
have been most impressed with the children’s developing awareness of what is
fair and unfair in terms of utilising the tent! Great sharing and engagement in a fantastic shared play experience.
The
latest ‘weather event’ has made a big impression on the Mead Room friends and
they were keen to discuss, to make sense of the black out and find reassurance
in their collective experiences.
Paige – we got
a big torch. I was sleeping in Mummy and Daddy’s room
Alana – Mummy
had to cook dinner in the dark
Mikayla – I did
sleep in Mummy’s bed because I was so scared because I couldn’t see anything.
William R –
I had a big torch and a little torch to see in the dark. The TV went off.
Haris – the
rain was a little scary – it was falling onto my head and my clothes. Mummy
didn’t have an umbrella.
Cooper – Our
bath was cold. Mummy put on fire and got hot water. And then she tipped it in
the bath, then another and another and then we get in it before it gets cold.
A
power outage makes us resourceful, brings us together and it’s a little bit
like camping!!
Enjoy
your weekend!
From
Melissa, Elodie and Sharon
