WCP volunteering day 61
Kurt is back!, Dale, Danny and Kurt removed the huge concrete obstruction in the gateway to the top of Trowse Woods
We also filled in the hole left by a large tree stump
I drove the 4WD pickup along the new trail through the woods, and the lads cleared a few protruding stumps as we went
Just after noon Ryan asked me to help him start cooking the lunch on the fire he had built. I agreed and we put on a pan of sausages. The NR5 leader, Sonya, came over and told me that the children had been told that lunch was not until 1pm, and had accepted the decision. , I took the food off the fire
After last week there was discussion which concluded that more work would be done if lunch was later. When I later spoke to a teacher, she pointed out that these children often come to work without any breakfast
The change in routine is a factor in disruptive behaviour.
