It was lovely on Friday to wander around with the camera and spot children playing and having fun all around the new playground. The Gaga Dodgeball pit is nearly finished. Where's Matua Jared when you need him to get that ball and play last man standing,
I think Matua Ryan might be a starter for some of our boys and I already know that he is a competitor who likes to win.
There was so much going on. Matua Glen had a very enthusiastic group of Fuse Drummers (it's all in how you hold your tongue) and there were dozens of children on the bike track. Just as well Fuse drumming is held outdoors because the noise is phenomenal. Some people march to their own beat. We do need to teach the children what the signs mean!! Holy Smoke. Give way!!! STOP! ONE WAY!
As I looked around I saw so many children taking care of others and when accidents happened, they were there to help and care. Our teachers set a great example for kindness and caring and many of the children interrupt their own games to include others or to help them out.
We do keep a close watch because some children struggle to cope with losing and they need to find their tears of disappointment rather than blame someone else. It's tough being a kid and learning all of life's lessons about not being the best, not getting picked for a game or going out of the game early when you really want to win.
