The 'Faces of Israel' group visited Stratford on Friday morning, 2nd March. Third Year students, Jorden Bukspan and Carly Gresak explain what they heard from the group.
On Friday, 2nd March, a group called the 'Faces of Israel' made a visit to our school. There were seven people all of which had a different story but shared one thing in common - Israel. They talked to us about their lifestyle, work, family, religion and informed us on the history and geography of Israel. (Click on thumbnails to open an enlarged version of image.)
We found their visit very worthwhile as we believe it is important for people to hear from Israelies what it's actually like in Israel instead of negative stories on the news.

The TY Horticulture class were out in the Autumn sunshine planting Spring bulbs using the chaos planting method. This is when a multitude of different spring bulbs (Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi) are mixed together and randomly planted so that we have a mixture of flowers and patterns emerging in the spring. It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
