More about the school playground


More! Have you noticed the time of these posts? Commuting. Forgot to bring a book both days. Anyway.

When we were playing at the school grounds for the second time, a bloke came over to us. I expected that he was going to tell us to leave. Instead, he said if was really happy to see us there, and what do we want to see done around the place?

His name is Brendan and he is the principal of one of the schools that is quietly running in the building. His school is Pavilion, an alternative high school for kids not suited to traditional schooling. Brendan took us inside to see a class of girls whe were learning about solid shapes - cones and cubes etc.

Some of those girls are young mums, so there is a corner of toys. Ivy and Hazel threw themselves at the little fake kitchen. Brendan said we could come inside to use the toys and the toilet. How cool!
