Emily, the new gardening teacher, will be enlightening us on how to turn the compost, prepare garden beds, mulch garden beds, cook yummy foods, weed, water, and lots more!

5/6 Steiner

Broken down, to be put back together. 4/5/6 Steiner JULY

As we learn about Greek Mythology together in 4/5/6 Steiner Main Lesson, we are creating Mosaics of Ancient Greek Patterns with a bit of artistic liberty from the children. Each week they have been immersed in the process of creating a mosaic work from broken tiles, including the fun of chipping them down to bitesize chunks. The students have enjoyed the process so far and we are soon to grout them and then send them home to be adorned among their many homes. Below are some comments from the students about the activity followed by some imagery of the mosaics created thus far.
