Rocky River has become a popular camping spot at kinder. A visit to the opshop came up with a little tent and a billy can which have added to the interest.
Did you know that camping is a gendered activity? According to the boys, girls don’t go fishing…. but then Imogen had had a great idea for making fishing rods inside…
and lots of other children learnt how to make them from her…
Immie “saw it on Mr Maker” – we used some magnetic tape to stick onto the “worms” to pick up our fish…
We even had a fishing demonstration …
and the fishing rods went outside…and the boys bowed to the inevitable – girls can go fishing and camping too!
Very impressive, especially to see the girls ‘stepping up’. Never been fishing myself, maybe because we never had this experience when I was at kinder …
so sorry to hear that you have missed out on what some consider a great experience (not all, I hasten to add….) 🙂
Oh phew! So glad the boys came around re: the whole girls and fishing thing cos I LOVE fishing … and I’m a girl!
Donna 🙂 🙂
Fishing has been a constant all year with a couple of these boys – and their womenfolk go too, so I don’t know where the gender bias comes from…..
