This afternoon we ventured to the grassed area in front of the dinner hall to have lots of fun. As part of our ongoing theme of change we collected leaves and discussed differences, we then explored the adventure trail using our gross motor skills.  There were some wonderful examples of managed…

We noticed that many of our children were finding threading a little bit tricky to complete independently so we took it into key person groups this week and the children did brilliantly.
