Ms. Reynolds explains what the TY English class were doing standing on the roof of Stratford on 9th January.
In early January, the TY students were asked to recreate the scene from the roof of Stratford College. The task entailed picking a scene and describing it with as much precision as possible. The focus was on colour, texture, light and naming. Some wonderfully imaginative pieces were created. Then they had to mould it around the Wordsworth poem 'To My Sister'. This required them to emulate the ballad rhythm and abab rhyming scheme. There was great diversity in their replies.
'It is the first mild mild day of March
Each minute sweeter than before'
To My Sister

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.
