"Oh no, the Wolf's eaten my sandwich"
"Mine too!"
And me!"
On Tuesday morning, the Forest Kindy gang set about enjoying their lunch in the sunshine at Ivy Russell Reserve, when all of a sudden, Isla let out a wail! "Someone has been in my lunch box!" Luiza noticed a note strategically placed in the Shelter...And Liam noticed his lunchbox was no longer inside his backpack...What's going on here??
Rachel read the note..."Thank you for the yummy sandwiches, I was so very hungry. Did you like my art by the stream? Your Friend, Wolf"
So...the Wolf had been at the Shelter whilst we played at the Monster Truck Track with Kyle on his last Forest Kindy Day! How did we feel about this? You could probably hear Isla's tears turn to bursts of laughter as she realised that the Wolf, was not bad, nor a thief, but simply grateful for a bite to eat of our delicious lunch...and he was sooo very thankful to his "friends".
Arriving back at Kindy, the news quickly spread. Plans were made for our next encounter and tall tales told. "I'm going to take a note and ask if he is a boy or girl!" Isla decided. "I'm going to make him his own sandwich," Holly said sympathetically.
And now we wait for our next day at the Reserve. Perhaps you too will hear his gentle howls through the wind as you pass by... "Whoooooo"...."Whooooo"...

Where do Ecological Stories live? Tumanako, star of the DOC Albatross Cam February 2017 - present
Spring is upon us, and with the new Season, comes the next chapter in the life cycle of the Royal Albatross, Tumanako, of the Otago Peninsula. We are watching and waiting as Tumanako stretches it's wings, getting ready to take flight for the first time any day now. And we will be able to track the migration, as the Albatross navigate their way for the next 4-10 years before returning home. What would life be like for Tumanako? How will they now where to go? Lots of questions and discussion as we ponder over this exciting next part of the journey!
Where do Stories live? Winton Public Library!
A big thanks to Luke, Raewyn and Carmel from the Winton Public Library for joining us every second Thursday to share stories during Te Wananga Time/Discussion Time. And thank you to all our fabulous family members who spend time, often on arrival in the morning, sharing stories and books with small groups of children before departing. The children just love using their imagination and story telling with friends and family - alongside building early literacy and language, creativity, and communication skills - all in a day's learning here at Winton Kindy!
