Boomerang Bags

Boomerang Bags 
With the aim of not using plastic bags at kindergarten, the children and kaiako have been busy sewing 'boomerang bags', fabric bags to be used and then reused. With a number of 'boomerang bags' now completed by our enthusiastic sewing team, we have started using them instead of plastic bags. 
Bags will be sent home with your child's wet clothing (if they don't already have their own re-useable bag). 
When they are bought home, your child's name will be written up on the board, next to the number (the same number is on the bag). 
Please wash the bag, and return it to kindergarten to be reused by other children. 
We thank you for your support.

Working with Nayland College Textiles Class

Thank you Cushla (Escher's Mum) for inviting us over to talk with your textile students at Nayland College about the items they are designing for the children at Nayland Kindergarten. Their ideas and respect for our children was wonderful to watch, as they all listened and acknowledged the feedback our 4-5 year olds shared with them. 
I stood back and watched the interactions and felt so incredibly proud of the children as they so confidently chatted with your students about their work, ideas and possible changes. I am sure after today we will have children back at kindergarten in planning mode next week and of course entrepreneurs in the future. 
Escher did a fabulous job of being our leader for the morning and he very confidently thanked the group for having us to visit. 
The photos show the wonderful interactions the children and students were having during this time.
