...the antidote is to take a few risks...

“First hand experience is perhaps the most important foundation stone in discovering who you really are, and what you might become. Without huge dollops of it, encouraged and nurtured, but rarely directed, we can never become more than the sum of other peoples lives, experienced at second hand…the antidote is to take a few risks, and let the mud squidge through your toes from time to time.”(Tim Smit)

The Snow Queen: Mini Project.

The Snow Queen.
 
The Snow Queen (Danish: Sneedronningen) is a fairy tale by author Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875). The tale was first published in 1845, and centers on the struggle between good and evil as experienced by a little boy and girl, Kai and Gerda.
 
We have downloaded the tale in three parts, as MP3 files. Please enjoy this tale with your children.
If we are only closed today, then make the most of the snow, if we remain closed and the weather gets worse perhaps create your own Snow Queen Project at home. This could invovle you building a snow queen in the garden, freezing colourful leaves in pools of ice, writing your own Snow Queen Story, painting and drawing illustartions to accompany the sound files, or just simply enjoying the story with a hot cup of chocolate while looking at the window at the snow falling down. Whatever you do, enjoy and bring the projects into school for us to see and display.
 Remember, regular updates on the school will be posted on our website, fronter and blog.
