We've just had the best day at the Storylines Festival in Christchurch. Through our involvement with Te Tai Tamariki we've all ended up to our knees in the organisation of this festival. And it's been great. Diane helped out with the minders and got a great team together who looked after Ken Catran, Fleur Beale, Robyn Belton, Ben Brown, Helen Taylor, Maragret Mahy, David Elliot, Katz Cowley, Paula Green and Brain Faulkner. Peter helped Science Alive with their displays and painted faces after working hard all week to create the wonderful powerpoint displays and signs.
My legs now hurt more now than after a 5 set game of squash, but everything just fell into place. We're really lucky that Storylines want to bring this fantastic festival to Christchurch ... and it was all free.
I saw families arrive just after 10am with children aged from 4-12 and they stayed for hours. There was something for everyone. The amount of children with heads down writing stories for the story writing competition would have made any teacher's heart sing - and they choose to do it! What an awesome day.
