On Tuesday night we hosted 80 teachers in our classroom. Visits organised by REANZ,
(Reggio Emilia Aotearoa NZ) an organisation that we belong to.
These visitors are interested in the way teachers interpret the Reggio
philosophy from Italy into NZ settings.
The next day, the girls were delighted to receive an email from one
of the teachers who came thanking them for sharing their work with her.
In her email she said their work was 'delicious'.
This word intrigued the girls and they sent an email back asking
her what their work tasted like. They found it all very funny.
They also wanted to know if Julie was a teacher or
a mummy or both.
We have had several email exchanges now and Julie has sent some
photos of her kindergarten and the place the children visit on walks.
She told them they even have a cat that joins them to go to the local stream - just like Turbo!
In the photo you can see the children's nets as they are 'fishing' and you can see an eel in the stream.
They obviously had luck and the eel is in the pan!
This is the sort of experiences that many children in NZ have grown up with in the past.
What Joy!
What a huge eel! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen the photo. Don't tell anyone - but I think Ines' dad could do with some of your fishing tips.
