Craig Smith Comes to Visit


We were very excited and  privileged to have author/songwriter Craig Smith visit last week. Craig was joined by his partner Margaret who used actions for
us to follow as Craig played the guitar and sang his much loved stories. The children were in awe and took a little bit of time to warm up and become involved.

                                     

It was a special day for Ava being her 5th birthday so it was great that she had the opportunity to help out with the puppets along with Lakhan, Armani, Adriana and Aaliyah. 

 
There was a special guest appearance by Kaha the Kea, who received lots of hugs and high fives from the children.
 
 
                  We all then had some quiet time while Craig sang a lullaby.

 
Finally we gathered together for a photo with Craig in front of the children's interpretation of "My Daddy Ate an Apple" We look forward to Craig visiting again during his next tour and await with anticipation to hear any new songs/stories.
