Last week, we welcomed back Stephanie from Heritage in Schools for another inspiring visit, this time leading a wonderful activity that blended nature and creativity.
The children explored local green spaces and collecting native Irish wildflowers with Stephanie’s expert guidance. Along the way, they learned to identify various species and were reminded of the importance of caring for the natural world.
Back in the classroom, the children carefully arranged their flowers for pressing. Stephanie demonstrated the traditional technique of preserving blooms between sheets of paper in heavy books.
As always Stephanie’s passion for Irish heritage and biodiversity shone through, leaving the children with new knowledge and a deeper appreciation for the beauty around them.
We’re very grateful to Heritage in Schools and to Stephanie for sharing her time and enthusiasm with us once again.
