Earlier this week, Helena Golden – The Willow Woman – held a basket weaving workshop in the school for 3rd to 6th classes. Using sustainably grown willow, the children learned how to weave their own basket just as their ancestors did. Baskets were used for storing and carrying food and fuel and they are becoming very popular again as we try to reduce the amount of plastic that we use. All the children had a basket to bring home, made from scratch with their very own hands! This project is part of the Heritage in Schools initiative and was funded by our Parents Association.
