It has been lovely to welcome Luca, Harris, Heidi and Ander back to school this week. As it was a lovely day, we went on a nature walk for daily mile, collecting as many different flowers (and fungi) as we could find. The angelica is getting really tall so everyone found a tall one to stand beside. We sorted the flowers back at school and identified them.
For Daily Mile on Thursday, we visited plantation to explore Fair Isle’s small patch of trees. Luca spotted some fungi in one of them.
In the afternoon, Pat and the children worked on the school garden and harvested the fruit and veg. A lot of peas and the final strawberries have been eaten by the children this week! Harris made home-made chips from the giant potato.
On Friday for free choice of learning, Ander and Heidi had fun playing with magic sand and the water tray.
Luca and Harris spent time exploring the different colours of dye they could make from beetroot, blackcurrants and various plants. They dipped cotton wool in the dyes and plan to dry it over the weekend.
