Earth Day and wind chimes

This week we focused on Earth Day (which is April 22nd). We talked about different ways of making energy such as solar, wind and water power and discussed why these are more sustainable options. We also talked about all of the different things which can be recycled, and why it is important - and played a little recycling game too!
We also did a water filtering experiment, and made some beautiful wind chimes using small clay plant pots, string and re-used objects such as spoons, keys, nuts and bolts and shells, pebbles and beads.

Afterwards we braved the rain and went out to play in the park - thankfully the sunshine came out eventually! There were a lot of families at our group this week which is always nice! We love having new people and meeting other home educaters. Please do get in touch if you would like to come along! tauntonhomeeducation@yahoo.com
