POV - people think you're creating murals and desi

POV - people think you're creating murals and designing resources, but you're actually crocheting giant Kiwi burgers 🤭👀🍔😂

This has been the hit of my office this week, with both children and adults alike!

➡️ Burger ingredients crocheted so far include:
🍔 Wholemeal bun with sesame seeds
🥩 Meat patties
🧀 Slice of cheese
🫐 Beetroot slices
🧅 Onions rings
🥬 Fancy lettuce
🍅 Heirloom tomato
🥓 Strips of bacon
🍳 Fried egg
🍍 Pineapple ring

What do you like in your kiwi burger? The conversations in my room about this have been hilarious - lots of people offended by the pineapple ring, and lots of children confused about what beetroot is 😂

➡️ Still on my to-do list to make:
Tomato sauce, mayo, mustard, gherkins (a sweet little soul at school has taken on the gherkin crocheting job!) & a gluten-free wrap

➡️ Special requests from children (& and grown-ups)
🥕 Grated carrot (still pondering how to actually crochet that 🤔)
🥮 Vegan patty
🥒 Cucumber slices
🍗 Chicken fillet
🫓 Haloumi slice

➡️ Looking for clip art images of Kiwi Kai? I've got you covered! Check out the Kai section in the Green Grubs store 🤩

....and from the huge mural in the previous post, to the sweetest little Scout badges! I was more than happy to gift the use of my kōwhai clip art to a very clever leader from @1st Dargaville Scouts, who was making some special badges to use for swapping with overseas Scout groups.

(I managed to snaffle up a few extra badges as part of the deal, to sew onto my little Cub's blankets 😅✨️)

⭐️ Shout to all the incredible volunteer parents at @scoutsaotearoa who make things happen behind the scenes, we appreciate your mahi 💗

I just LOVE seeing a finished product - and look at the size of this one!! Will need to pop down for a selfie when I'm next in the neighbourhood 🤩

✨️This mural was personalised to match Mount Hutt College's special values. I hope it encourages the students to reflect on the qualities that underpin their kura and what makes it unique - in a fun way!

Thanks for sharing the finished product Mount Hutt College, I loved bringing your awesome idea to life! 🪽🪽

We’ve all got students that would benefit from some extra TLC and awhi as they move out of our immediate care and into their new classrooms. This mini booklet is a simple way to support their transition to their new environment. It’s designed to be personalised with drawings, keywords and photographs – print it and keep it on hand to add to as new information comes to light (class placement and new teachers and teacher aids etc). Your students can take it home at the end of term to share with their whānau and work through the final prompts with them. Just search 'my new class' on the Green Grubs website to grab this free download 😊

I had someone message yesterday to ask if Green Grubs was on Tik Tok. The answer is no. No we are not. Tik tok? Tik not. 🧐😂

If you're looking to connect, fb, IG, website message or email are the way to go - all names are in this nifty little diagram! ✨️

What social media platforms are you gravitating towards these days...?

I taught the kids to knit this holidays! 🧶🤩

I taught the kids to knit this holidays! 🧶🤩

We started off with a double ended scarf (so the twins could work on the same project at the same time) ....and then things escalated ....and now we're knitting the longest scarf in the world 😂 (apparently 3.5 metres long at this morning's official measure)

We also made some more kiwi-appropriate knitting rhymes to help remind us about the basics of knit and purl - would anyone like a printable copy of these? Just search "knitting rhymes" on the Green Grubs website 🧶

It's been a lovely thing to have lying around - the kids are jumping on and adding a few lines and here & there, and I'm picking up stitches and getting creative while binge watching Criminal Minds - it's been a total win-win 😁

I'm going to take it to school to add to my before-school picnic blanket activities, hopefully some whānau will stop by and add a couple of lines to our project, or sit and chat. In my role as Family Support person, I'm always looking for more ways to connect with our wider school family, especially our new migrant whānau and the older generation, so hopefully this will provide an opportunity for people to pause and connect - I'll keep you updated! 💗

⛱️ Celebrate the end of year with this iconic

⛱️ Celebrate the end of year with this iconic symbol of Christmas in Aotearoa – the pōhutukawa!

🎅 This collaborative poster features 32 A4 pages, which assemble to make a large wall display (1.7 X 1.2 metres in size)

🌳 Once your pōhutukawa is complete, you can choose from the additional extras included to embellish your tree:

💐 The foldable pōhutukawa bloom contains mini reflection sentences based around the ideas of “Thinking back on 2024” & “Looking forward to 2025”.

⭐️ This set also includes 18 black & white NZ-themed baubles to compliment your collaborative poster. Colour, cut out & paste onto coloured card before adding some glitter & string and attaching to your completed tree.

😎 The best (and most versatile) thing about this display is that at the start of the new year, you can simply remove the Christmas ornamentation and you're left with the perfect Kiwi Summer wall display for the centre of your back to school activities!

🎄Find this festive resource on the Green Grubs website - just search 'Kiwi Christmas'

🌊 So awesome to see Solway Primary School's new custom signage up and looking amazing!!

I love a design brief that comes with lots of interesting details, and Solway school had a tonne of unique features that made this sign really personal to their school.

This image features their 4 local Wairarapa awa (rivers), each with their own history and stories that we tried to subtly reference in the design. The rivers are also colour-coded to match their house groups.

Their local maunga (mountain) range appears in the background and foliage from their tree inspired class names border the edges.

I really hope the sign helps to support their young learners to recall and value the stories & history of their place, and to know what makes their school special. It's been a pleasure Solway!
