We continue to explore the world around us. Sunflower heads have been drying out on the window sill and we got stuck in with the tweezers to harvest the seeds. We dried them out alongside last week’s pumpkin seeds and popped them into jars to plant in the spring. This involved a huge amount of concentration.
We went to the forest to collect forest treasure to add to our version of Pumpkin Soup. Compost,grass,seeds and conkers were mixed and mashed. The Pioneers used mashers and ladles to create a huge Pumpkin Feast. They filled egg boxes with soil and water to make chocolate eggs. Everyone helped with the tidy up job which made life much easier.
We looked closely at a number of different types of fungus but we decided not to touch. All the Pioneers were aware that some things should not be picked.
We noted the changes in the forest and kicked up the wet leaves.
Everyone manged their own welly boots and this is quite an achievement.
Well done Pioneers!
