Free Spanish Taster Session
You are all invited to a FREE Spanish taster session on Monday Feb 22nd in Menheniot Parish Hall at 1.30pm.
The tutor is one of only three people in Cornwall licensed to run La Jolie Ronde courses. La Jolie Ronde are the recognised primary language leader and courses can be structured from four to eleven year olds.
The course I am hoping to run is called “Buenos Días España” and is suitable for 7 to 11 year olds. If there is sufficient interest, I will also run a “Las Aventuras de Mifú y Tina” course, suitable for 4 to 6 year olds.

Plants For a Future visit
St Austell HE Group has been invited to Plants for a Future for a day out. PFAF is a fascinating site of edible, medicinal and useful plants.
Dates:
Wednesday 24th February 11am
Monday 29th March 1pm
Wednesday 21st April 1pm
Plants for a Future was established in 1989 on 28 acres to demonstrate the many uses of plants with a very strong emphasis on perennial species. The group wil learn about the land; the plants and methods of growing them; and also have an opportunity to taste some of the edible plants.
St Austell HE Group has been given a patch, “The Robert Hart Memorial Garden”, to plant up – there will be some plants ready waiting for us. People can also bring musical instruments as we always have a camp fire and sing-a-long.
Wear long trousers and sensible footwear. If it rains we will use the polytunnel, (though no camp fire!) and bring vegetarian food to share.
Please contact Katie to confirm you are coming or for further information: t: 01726 810109/07903 564 760. e: katie[at]sussex[dot]co[dot]uk

We adopt the Education Otherwise guidelines and rules for the safe running of the group – please get a copy from Ruth if you don’t have one.

25 January – Shelterbox
Local international disaster aid relief organisation Shelterbox, based in Helston, will arrive with a shelterbox and erect the tent so we can get a feel of what it might be like to be on the receiving end of their work. We may like to find a way of raising funds for Shelterbox as a group…..something we could discuss on the day. There will be information about current relief work and why it is Shelterbox is the most successful and effective organisation for providing first stage aid relief in the world.
Please see their website for educational activities and info. here: www.shelterbox.org
1 February – The Story: ‘The lands End Peninsula – the place and people who shaped it. How the west was made and won’
NB: This session will be upstairs in the conference room.
Cornish historian, athour, playwright and storyteller, Stephen Hall tells us the local story with slides/visuals. He runs these shows locally throughout the summer.
“Imagine the men and women who made this extraordinary place; taming a wilderness, living through climate change at its most extreme, shaping beliefs and landscapes, creating sacred places and homes, working the land, harvesting the riches of the sea and mining beneath it. Imagine their struggle to maintain their livelihoods and identities in a changing world. Saints and sinners, feast and famine, wreck and rescue, rebellion, riot and invasion. Tales of tenacity, achievement and loss…..”
8 February – Trip to Penzance Fire Station
Meet some of the fire service crew and find out what happens when they’re called out. We will be shown around the station and shown all the equipment and an engine. We may have the opportunity to have a go with a hose! Additionally, they will talk about home fire risks and safety and if you don’t already have one, they will take your details and come and install a smoke detector for you free of charge.
15 February – No session (Schools Half Term Week)
