Last week, the children got to make nettle soup using the nettles they had collected the week before. They enjoyed cooking over the campfire and although only a few of them actually liked the taste of the soup, most of them did try it!

India inspired us all with her efforts this week! India has chosen to donate her hair to the ‘Little Princess Trust’ – a charity that provides real hair wigs, free of charge, to children and young people who have lost their own hair through cancer. India was inspired to do this after knowing what a difference a real hair wig has made to people close to her. She is also raising money for Little Princess Trust to help produce the wigs. If you would like to donate towards this fantastic cause, India will be bringing her sponsorship form in next week. Well done India, we are all very proud of you and the difference you are making.
Congratulations to all our winners this week!
