What a glorious day for our second day at the Shieling Project. We were greeted by a frosty covering when we arrived but we soon warmed up when the sun came out to visit us. Sam, Kelpie and Aspen came to meet us down the track and it’s very clear that the dogs are becoming firm favourites with the children.
We got to work completing the logs and preparing them to make our structure. Sam set the children their tasks and encouraged them to take responsibility to ensure they were completed with minimal adult involvement. This was a challenge for the adults not to get involved but the children worked very well together, putting their leadership skills to the test. We finished with a story before lunch and then a walk back down the track. Another super day!
A huge thank you to Kirsty, Cameron’s Granny, for accompanying us. We would love to welcome other volunteers so if you’d like to get involved, please get in touch!
