Eneri and his friends were playing in the sandpit. They were having Eneri's pretend birthday party. Eneri's mixture for the cake was a bit sloppy so Irene asked what would they need to do with it next. They thought that it needed to be cooked but we didn't have an oven in the sandpit. Irene made a make shift one out of a plastic box and suggested maybe we could get James to make one for KIDSPACE. Five minutes later James came into KIDSPACE and Eneri asked him if he could make an oven. How could James refuse such a request? The next day he brought all the building materials into KIDSPACE so the children could have a part to play in creating the oven. With their tool belts and safety masks on, they all got a turn of helping to put the screws in. Later, they painted the elements, attached the knobs and screwed in some cup hooks along the side to hold the cooking utensils then Irene gave it a couple of coats of polyurethane over the weekend.
The oven has been in constant use every day. I watched as Elijah, Laker and Jasper cooked eggs on the oven, mmm yummy cooked breakfast anyone? (Tamara)

Irene is correct when she states that the oven is getting a lot of use since it's arrival at KIDSPACE.
Last week, Chardanae and Isabel spent a lengthy period opening then cooking in their new restaurant situated in the sandpit. A lot of conversation took place between the two chefs about what they were cooking ,however when as a diner I inquired as to what was on the menu, Isabel made the comment to her colleague that "She's very noisy, Isn't she.?"
It is great to observe children involved in dramatic play, and to see them take on a range of roles within their play.
Im not to sure whether I will be allowed back in to
their restaurant after all my noise.

It really is lovely to see the children interacting with James. Maia has taken a real shine to him and one afternoon i caught her chatting to him while he enjoyed a afternoon cuppa.
Thanks for all you do around Kidspace too James.
