Natural Carpenters at work at the new table.

Michaela Phillips —

If ever there was a place to sit back and watch children at work in their natural environment, it is here at the carpentry table.

Three 5 year old boys are creating a dog house each for 'Skipper' after the story they had just read, and there is hardly a missed hit amongst them.  These little boys have come straight off the farm with skills you and I would only dream of having.  This area of play provides such a wonderful platform for the slightly older children to support and collaborate.  I marvel at the good hearted banter that goes on between them all.  They all are succeeding in this creative and busy little hub in our small wee school.
