The Dandelion Workshop

Welcome to the Summer Term!

With everyone settled back into school, we can’t wait to get going. This term is packed full of exciting and interesting things for our pupils to do.

Kicking off our workshops was our Dandelion Workshop for Forest School. The children learned that it is far from just being a gardener’s weed as it has fantastic health benefits when used correctly.

Detailed observations, scientific drawings and tasting Dandelion honey were a highlight with the children surprised at how delicious Dandelion honey tasted. (So called because there was no bees honey available at this time of year so Dandelions provided a good alternative).

We have really appreciated learning about the many wild flowers and herbs around school and look at every plant in a new light!
