Preparing for the Potlatch

Yesterday there were four children in the Fire Group who started stringing bracelets for our gift to give away at the potlatch tomorrow. We needed to make 25 and it seemed like a daunting amount.


Today there were seven children who continued the work. We needed to make 17 more bracelets. After a few minutes the bracelets were finished and Sophia and Simone noticed how quick that was compared to yesterday. Together we concluded that the more people there are to share the work the less work each of us needs to do - a very important discovery amongst people who work and live together!





"I'll help you."
A lovely discussion took place while the children worked, the topic - what work do you want to do when you grow up?
Simone - "A vet"
Alfie - "A fireman"
Sofia - "I like to fix cars"
Esme - "I don't know yet"
Bela - "Don't know"
Grace - "A fireman" (but after icing the cake she decided to be a cake decorator)
Julia - "A gymnastics teacher and a ballet teacher"

The children helped to ice the cake and decided on how it should be decorated.

We're all ready for the potlatch!!
