http://edibleislington.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Thursday, 19 November 2009. Newington Green Primary School workshops at King Henry's Walk Garden. It was really fun today - playing games and making insects.". I like this, I've never done it before! While making insects out of conkers, seeds, sticks etc). Mine's called a Conqueror (or Conkerer! On making an insect out of a conker. My favourite bit was sucking up nectar like a bee with the squirty thing" (pipette). Can I come here with my Mum and Dad on Saturday? Can I be a fox and chase rabbits?

Tuesday, 1 June 2010. Myra Heller at Newington Green Primary School, 10th May. The children's knowledge and enthusiasm has grown along with their seeds. Every child has their individual plants to care for, mostly tomatoes and peppers in the green house but we have also planted pumpkins, runner beans, French beans, mange tout (we ate our first one last week, it was hard to share it out to 11 children), courgettes (round yellow ones), sweet corn, lettuce, chard and carrots.

Friday, 26 March 2010. Myra Heller at Newington Green Primary School.

Edible Islington: August 2009

http://edibleislington.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Sunday, 30 August 2009. Hanover School's 'Farm Shop' in July. Saturday, 8 August 2009. Onsite at Newington Green Primary School with Myra Heller. We looked at sweet pea seeds and touched them to see how incredibly hard they are and pine cones and we looked at ivy and Virginia creeper to understand how they spread (curling tendrils, gripping stem suckers) and some of them drew them. I hope we can do some giant blow-up models of seed pods (poppies are good) out of wire, cane and tissue paper at a later date.
