Blackberries!!
September 8th, 2023September wouldn’t be September without some berry picking and we were rewarded with a magnificent bounty this year. Now, the only decision is what to make with them…..
After our monster haul, it was time to put our baking skills to the test. The 6th class boys and girls were up to the job and served up a delicious blackberry and apple (from our own trees) crumble with ice-cream. 10 out of 10!!

Autumn Rambles
September 5th, 2023We have been taking advantage of the much needed sunshine this week and taking the classroom outside. We have been exploring the natural heritage of Fanore by visiting and learning all about shell middens. The midden in Fanore can be dated back 6000 years and provides one of the earliest pieces of evidence of humans living in the area
As the season turns we have also been exploring our local hedgerows for signs of autumn and recording our findings. Children used school iPads to take pictures and in groups created a poster about Autumn in Fanore using their pictures. They used google reverse image search to investigate plant names.
