Outdoor Learning

Year 4 loved their walk in the woods today.

Some of the children want to go back now and explore the woods even more!

Elm and Beech classes walked out into the community today on the first of two routes we will be walking this half term. They had a great time and answered many geography questions as well as raising our fitness levels. Some of our children had never walked this route and saw a new part of our…
