Planting and tasting herbs at Keyford Heights.

Making dips encourages fine motor skills, the stirring aids “attention restoration” and making choices of which herbs to use increases self-esteem levels.  Sensory enjoyment comes from handling the herbs and tasting.

Whilst at Inaura school, in our new polytunnel, school imaginative play is a key developmental phase and the garden is a good medium for creating miniature worlds.
