CV Weekly Update

Another super exciting day at Children’s Village is behind us. As always, we began with our morning meeting, where we shared news, chatted about the upcoming summer fair, and discussed plans for the day. We also tasted some yummy fruit and veg and picked a new affirmation card: “I welcome all my feelings, knowing that they are a part of who I am.”

Straight after the meeting, most of the group got involved in the woodworking project. The children worked on two big ideas: building a car and making a trolley. They had small and large pieces of wood to choose from, and used hammers, a screwdriver, a saw, and a sander to bring their visions to life. Supported by one of our parents, they worked alongside each other and figured out step by step how to make things work. In addition to the big projects, smaller toys were created—cars, a ramp and some simple weapons. A ‘javelin’ was knocked together and thrown in the field. And when the main car was ready, volunteers lined up for rides—and what happy rides they were!

What else? Card games were played, a puzzle was completed, paper planes flew everywhere, and a group comic strip took shape.

We ended the day with a treat: homemade lemonade infused with our garden mint and strawberries. Mmm!
