KCC - Making Kites, Boats and Bubbles – Sunday 12 March 2016
After gale force winds during the week before this event, it was uncanny to have only very very light winds for flying our kites today. We had a lot of older children at KCC (Kiwi Conservation Club) today which was great to see and they all had fun making the kites and running around the koru maze to get them airborne. Then Alan set up the bubbles and we had heaps of fun shaping, chasing and popping bubbles, including having paper planes fashioned and flown through bubbles to make them pop! The fun continued with the challenge of making a boat entirely from nature to float on the wetland pond at the Southland Community Nursery and Education Centre. There were some awesome creations of different designs, sizes and shapes…..and they all floated! It was great to get out and about in nature and have some simple fun with family and friends.
Big thanks to Alan Admore for the kite making design and bubbles (bubble recipe - http://bubbleswow.weebly.com), and to Chris Rance for the use of the Southland Community Nursery and Education Centre. Awesome fun! Bronwyn Graham 2130017
