Science week.

15th Nov 2023
The children enjoyed the visit today from Karen Webster, an artist of natural materials.  We looked at different natural materials and discussed their properties- these included wood, Cork, bark and seaweed! We used charcoal to draw images for the properties. Then we took a closer look at Willow. Willow is a very useful plant and is very flexible/bendy. We all made a circle from the Willow.  Some children invented their own games using the Willow.  Some made halos 😇,  some made collars for their pets , there were also webs and dream catchers! Many thanks to Karen and Heritage in Schools for her visit we all really enjoyed the experience and learned a lot.
