While many of our children Year 6 were out enjoying their transition days at secondary schools, the small group who stayed behind certainly made the most of it!
They had the entire Nature Park to themselves and loved exploring areas they remembered from their Nursery and Reception days. From making beautiful forest school bracelets to trying their hand at lighting a fire with flint and steel — they were an absolute pleasure! 🌿🔥🦅
