WE CAN HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON OUR YEAR TWO NEIGHBOURHOOD LEARNING CULTURE BY MAKING OUR LEARNING SPACE BEAUTIFUL!

Hi everyone, Last Friday (1st February) we spoke with the children about creating succulent tins together so that we can beautify our learning space to improve our learning culture.

I recently got married and I created beautiful succulent tins for my table settings (see below for a picture). You may have heard your child pottering about the garden at home seeking out succulents... we did tell them to ask you first :)

Succulents are wonderful sustainable plants because they are very hardy, they retain water, and they multiply easily. I grew all of mine from a few mother plants and then broke off some nodes to replant them. If you do have some succulent plants at home, we would love if you could spare a node or two so we can make our succulent tins without having to purchase any plants (= very Sustainable.)

Other things we are collecting include:
- washed tins (chickpea tins, tomato tins, tuna can tins to vary the shape/size),
- twine,
- Succulents

Thank you to those children who have already brought in tins and potted succulents! They look amazing and they are featured below.

 

Regards,

Simone
