Today is the perfect day to share this wonderful story, "Wild Footprints," authored by the very talented Judy Wise (one of our previous Acorns Mummies!) 🐾
​Congratulations Judy! Your story captured the hearts (and ears!) of all our little Acorns today. 📚✨
​We have celebrated the 100th Birthday of Sir David Attenborough by learning all about endangered animals! 🌍🐢
​Our little acorns have had a brilliant day:
🐯 Creating animal masks to step into the wild.
🦁 Making animal habitats to learn where our wild friends live and how to keep them safe.
🐘 Getting active with some animal yoga!
​Happy Birthday, Sir David! 🎂
