Owls

Wise Owls Enjoy Outdoor Learning During Heatwave

The Wise Owls made the most of the warm weather this week, heading outdoors for a fun and engaging learning session. As temperatures soared, the children explored the importance of hydration, discovering why water is essential for all living things, from plants and animals to their own growing bodies.

Through hands on activities and forest school experiences, they connected their learning to the natural world, even linking it to their fascination with dinosaurs! A perfect blend of fun, curiosity, and learning outside the classroom.

Reception

Reception Update 🌿💧

Our Reception girls have been busy making a real difference! They worked together to put up a tarp shelter, creating much-needed shade, and designed their own water filters. These were put straight into action, transforming muddy water into clean, usable water 💦💕

A fantastic example of teamwork, creativity, and practical problem-solving!
