Just to update you on this project. They have kept their word and today I have received my pots and bulbs and various exciting looking goodies to link to the project and we'll be starting to grow our plants soon.
I came across this project, called Mini Pots of Care, a Marie Curie Cancer Care activity, in the local newspaper. They say that "Mini Pots of Care is a fun and creative way for children (aged 3 to 11 years) to learn all about science and nature whilst making a positive difference to the lives of people with cancer".
The basic idea is that they send you pots and daffodil bulbs to grow through the winter and into the spring and then each group of children is asked to make a small donation to the charity.
Knowing several who have have been helped by this charity, I thought I would check out if they would accomodate home educators, as their target group is schools and groups such as Guides and Scouts. They have replied favourably to me so I thought I would pass this on to you.
