We have been blessed with perfect weather since our return back to school after the Easter break.It has been school outdoors every day .Before our eyes and as we watched ,first the cherry,then the pear and damson and now the apple trees all produced their blossom.The children are able to observe the bees doing their work transporting pollen from flower to flower and already can see the tiny fruits beginning to grow on the trees. The indoor work is beginning to make sense as we see real things happen in the outdoor environment!Tomatoes,beans,peas,lettuces are growing fast and we have transplanted them into the raised beds.
As always,the children are fascinated with invertebrate life.Snail collecting was the highlight of last week with Harry B and Eamon competing to see who could find the most snails!It always delights me to see the respect the children hold for these little creatures.Whilst some snail hunt in the orchard,others practice climbing apple trees.As the trees are small and strong much fun is had here!
We are enjoying picnics in the field.races in meadow and just having fun. Its what this special time of pure innocence is all about!
