Sarah and family at the cafe...
Now there's a happy bunch...
Yum!
Easter buns, with bluebell fairy and lamb cake...which was raffled. We raised amost £50 at this stall alone.
The entire school is an art gallery of the children's work.

The colours of the class and age - class 6 - depict the vibrance of the light as it fades in the evening light. Watercolour lends a dreamy feel to it, giving the actual texture of being of that age.
There are no textbooks. Everything is drawn by the student - and researched and written up. As they do this, they realise that everyone is an artist and they are able to incarnate their own individual consciousness through their bodies and therefore relate deeply and meaningfully to others around them in a creative and caring way.
Two selections from the crafts stall...chicks and forget me nots in a recycled tea cup. How the simple is naturally lovely.
No where on planet earth will you see adults get more excited about decorating eggs, i promise!
And kids get quite excited sometimes too!
Here's a depiction of the threats facing the natural world - in this case a panda bear ponders over it's reduced supper.

Over a few weeks a hut appeared at the foot of the tree. It was at first a bird hide and then became something much more amazing. By the time Easter festival took place, it was untouchable and the kids got to keep the hut.
Our school is beautiful, there is no doubt about that. Not big and brassy or clipped to within an inch of life - but overflowing and organic and nuturing beautiful. And nowhere is it more apparent than in the kindergarten. Thank you to everyone who donated those daffodill bulbs.
Angels look after the bathroom in kindergarten.
