We are now two weeks in and the project is well underway. Unfortunately due to various school holidays, and being unable to access the site on preferred days, we have not managed to engage with the children in the initial design process. However, since presenting our ideas in the form of sketch models, the children have been eager to help us and speed up the construction process. During school hours or evening after-hours, we seem to be surrounded by children willing to help, learn new skills and share their local techniques. So far, St Augustine’s pupils have helped with digging foundations, clearing stones, removing weeds, cutting grass, tidying rubbish, mixing aggregates and preparing our food.
Now that we have had our designs approved, prepared the site, dug foundations, sourced local materials, and purchased key tools, we look forward to Week 03 where we will begin the true construction process. We will begin by focusing on the larger of the ‘Adventure’ apparatus.
