Forest Week (22nd-24th May) Forest week is well under way. The children are having an amazing time with a whole range of activities including; den building, making flowerpot people, weaving, pebble painting, pond dipping, ‘It’s a knockout!’, minibeast hunting, making clay faces and much much more. We would like to say a huge thank you to all the parents who helped with donated plants, compost, bird feeders and tables, bark, wood and much more to

make this special learning experience a success.
