After the Michaelmas Festival last week, we all went out into the School grounds and everybody engaged in physical work, putting the land and waning energies of the Summer to bed for the Autumn and Winter where they lie under the surface. Individually, we mirror this by diverting our energies inside into the practices of self reflection and creativity - a good combination for the endeavour of school work. Each class had a specific clearing up task to do, while Class 1 planted out bulbs that Class 12 gave them at the first assembly of the year. Classes 4 and 11 made a delicious soup for lunch using produce from our School garden for all the staff and students to enjoy.
