A visit to Grandfather Fig Tree

11/8/2021

Here at Preschool, we have been enjoying the amazing weather - lapping up as many sun forces as we can. We have been out and about on the Farm, meeting our beloved farmers, who often feature in our stories at Preschool - our new friend Farmer Spike; our trusted old friend Farmer Andrew; and don't forget our much-loved gardener Renate, who the children flock to like bees to honey, wanting to help with any busy jobs she may have. 

Also in our stories is Nic Nac Gnome who lives in the very big trunk of Grandfather Fig Tree. He uses a special curly key to unlock his door. So, when we went past the grapevines on the Farm, each child found their very own curly key before we headed over to Grandfather Fig, where the the children searched and searched, all over Grandfather Fig's big roots; in tight little corners; and way up high into those ever-reaching arms, until they finally called out "we found the door!". 

After all of our adventures under the sun, we sat underneath the shady branches of Grandfather Fig and enjoyed a delicious picnic while we watched the High School children practice their high jumps.

How blessed we are to be part of such a special school, with so much to do and see.

We are looking forward to seeing what the farmers are doing next week!
