The line for breakfast is even longer this term.
We have had an influx of new children this year, which is great news, but it does mean the breakfast line takes a bit longer than it used to.
Distanced Learning
Helping in the Kitchen
Lunch Break
Taking lunch break under a tree to keep covid at bay.
Studying Outside, the New Normal!
Maryann serves great lunches
Social Distance
We are still social distancing, are you? With luck we are in the last stage of this long haul, we all just got to keep it together and then, soon, we can safely be together!
The New Normal
No! Not boys in the kitchen, that’s old news. The new normal is keeping at least a metre distance between you while doing normal things like cooking.
Craftwork is better with plenty of space
Finding positives in the new normal. For example there are many things, like arts and crafts, that work better if you have plenty of space to yourself.
The Boys Are Back In Town
Well, they are back in school actually, which is just as fun!
Gardening in the time of Covid
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Staff at Olng’arua School like a bit of spice in their food. Lucky for them these hot little chilli peppers grow readily here. This bush of peppers seeded itself near the tap outside the staff accommodation.
The Wild Bunch
More hats
Not to be outdone by Natunini some of the boys have also been experimenting with the art of hat making.
Natunini Fashion
Natunini is almost certainly going to become a milliner, or at the very least a leader in hat fashion. As several photographs on this site will testify, she is often to be seen wearing stylish head gear. This floral arrangement, made from desert rose flowers, is just the latest of this fashionista’s creations.
