Brooke Valley School is the local independent school close to fieldwork. As the school year came to a close, Coral Nault, the principle teacher and some parents took the kids on a 'fieldtrip' to visit fieldwork. It was of particular interest for the kids to visit Flower Lunn's work "Badges for Brooke Valley" as Flower also grew up in the area and attended Brooke Valley School when she was young. The text on her 'pavillion' are like whispers of memories from the time she spent growing up here.
The kids also enjoyed trapsing, or perhaps racing through the forest where Dan's Bewilderness is installed, checking out newly sprouted mushrooms, a wacky raven on suitcases, and strange, suspended, wood rails!
We are delighted that we could host the school group and hope there will be more visits from kids/youth in the future!
