Green Day

Today has been our annual Green Day, and what a great day for it! The theme this year was ‘Invest in our Planet’ and the children had a wonderful ‘hands-on’ day learning about our planet and the role that we all play in protecting it. Year One enjoyed a great morning on the Common, visiting the Rangers’ Stables and hunting for minibeasts. Kindergarten were busy caring for their visiting caterpillars and enjoyed making butterfly art and finally our Year Two's enjoyed their special day out at Bushcraft!
