Yesterday Thursday Home Ed Tribe split into 2 teams and made a flag each for Capture the Flag. Clowne Juniors enjoyed being creative & smaller groups made minecraft tools. At a 1:1 session we made some fruity bird feeders (and ate quite a bit of it ourselves 😆). Sarah

Bolsover TV came and filmed us making bird feeders. We have seen so many blue tits and Chaffinch's in the garden today. We have also been at Woodthorpe and Grassmoor School making bird feeders and building dens. We are looking forward to returning to Clowne Juniors next week

🍂🍃Happy New Year to all!🍃🍂 Trees are sleepy, wildlife is quiet; soon we will see signs of new life sprouting up from the soils & our ears will be full of birdsong. Leaves uncoil, smells of wild garlic & bluebells colour the woodland beside it all are children making memories
