As a fitting culmination to their Main Lesson on human shelters, Class 3P built, and slept overnight in, their very own shelter, made from bamboo poles, rope and tarps. What an incredible experience for these eight and nine-year-olds to make themselves a dwelling, a fire, and damper to warm their bellies on a cold autumn night.
It was bittersweet to dismantle the structure last Friday as the space gave us warmth, shelter, allowed us to make memories and believe that together, using cooperation and teamwork, we can achieve anything!
Thank you to all the parents who helped with the experience – from builders to cooking help to bringing in loving food for us all to share. It is certainly a Main Lesson I will always remember fondly. I am so proud of how all the children worked together on the task and how they safely erected the structure.
