Working towards kindness with Marymount

27/4/2018

We have had a super day with 44 students from Marymount, who came to explore the theme of kindness with us here at the Hazelhut.
Picture
The students were involved in a range of activities organised by their teachers and Hazelhut staff in collaboration.
Picture
In their free time the 4th graders loved running all over the Hazelhut grounds, looking at the animals and playing games.
Picture
All too soon it was time to return to school for them, but taking a 'kindness cookie' with them made it all worthwhile!
Picture
Thank you to the bright and happy children who came today and to their kind and patient teachers.  You all always welcome back!

Turning 7 at the Hazelhut

A few weeks ago we had a wonderful party for a 7 year old here at the Hazelhut summer camp near Rome.
Picture
The warm weather meant we could spend time outdoors.  The children loved playing with Pip and racing around looking for clues in the treasure hunt.
Picture
Some kids had their faces painted.
Picture
Others enjoyed sports on the football pitch.
Picture
And others just wanted to dance!
Picture
Only one lucky girl enjoyed lots of generous gifts....
Picture
Picture
....but everyone enjoyed a slice of chocolate birthday cake!

Under 8's Day

22/4/2018

What a super day we have had with some smashing little Hazelhutters!
Picture
With the sun shining, we spent a lot of time outside. The first stop was, of course, the piglets.
Picture
Picture
We ate our lunch outside too and even though these children are all young, they each made their own sandwiches!
Picture
After lunch there was time to play with Pip and relax in the sun.
Picture
The kids enjoyed an outdoor treasure hunt and were very fair when sharing out the booty.
Picture
Picture
Naturally we had to go and collect the eggs and say 'hello' to Fluffy and Smokey as well.
Picture
The chestnut forest can't be missed at this time of year either, with its carpet of cyclamen and orchids - so we went there too.
Picture
Picture
Some strange animal noises spooked out the children so we returned to the house.
Picture
Indoors the children enjoyed working in the art room.
Picture
They did some singing and dancing and making music and they enjoyed a quiet story too.
Picture
Our next day for children under 8 is May 5th.  Please contact us if you would like to join in the fun!

ISC in Lazio

22/4/2018

On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week we were working with the kids from ISC Grade 6, helping them to understand the ancient Romans and preparing them for the exhibition.  We loved having this energetic and thoughtful group of students and just wish the time could have been longer.  The first day was spent in Rome looking at the ancient monuments with James as tour guide.  They also went to the ancient Roman baths near Viterbo to experience the relaxing side of ancient Roman life!
Picture
The rest of the time was spent at the Hazelhut.  The students responded well to our open spaces and seemed to really understand how we need to consider many of the concepts connected with their transdisciplinary theme of 'Sharing the Planet' when we work at the Hazelhut.
Picture
They learned about the many things we do to maintain a balance within our fragile ecosystem and they loved running wild in the woods and on the football pitch!  Hazelhut meals were also a big hit with this team.
Picture
We would like to take this opportunity to wish the Grade 6 students every success with their exhibition and to thank their teachers for all their help in making this trip a wonderful experience for everyone.

Kindness Retreat

13/4/2018

0 Comments

 
After many failed attempts, due to unusually bad weather, we finally managed to put on a 'kindness retreat' for Marymount School at the Hazelhut.  Organised brilliantly by Ann and her team, we enjoyed the fruits of working with a group of keen and caring grade 5s.
Picture
They carried out a range of activities including a thought provoking version of 'Jenga', cookie making for family members and painting rocks with reminders of how important it is to care for others.  We can't wait to do it all again with Grade 4!
