Bedtime Beanies!

On the 18th May some lovely ladies came to our kura to give every student a beanie. 

The beanies had been knitted by people all over New Zealand for children in Christchurch.

The idea started with a lady in New Brighton who realised that since the February 22 earthquake many Christchurch children would be living in cold homes, many without heating, this coming winter.

The New Brighton group had a philosophy:

"A lot of our body heat leaves through the head – keep the head warm and the body stays warm. 

The goal is to provide the children in our district with a “Bedtime Beanie”, a soft and comfortable bed hat, to wear each night."

We are very grateful to all the people who knitted the beanies for us. There were all sorts of styles and colours  so we were able to choose one that just suited us perfectly.

WE LOVE OUR BEANIES!

THANK YOU
