​This Week
We had a SUPER trip to Foxburrow Farm where we learn all about different mini beasts, exploring the meadow area going on Minibeasts hunts. We also went pond dipping and found lots of creatures including snails and a newt.  We also learnt some facts about different trees in the forest area and enjoyed bark rubbing and mud painting!!
It was a fantastic day and the children thoroughly enjoyed and thankfully the weather was kind to us too!
