🌿🦔 Forest School Fun! 🦔🌿

Hedgehog Class and the children from Apollo Nursery had a fantastic time at Forest School this morning🌳🍂

The children enjoyed exploring nature, developing their confidence and independence, and learning through hands-on experiences. There was lots of curiosity, teamwork and, of course, plenty of fun along the way! 🪵🐞🍃

A wonderful opportunity to learn, explore and enjoy the great outdoors together. 💚

🐾 A Special Visit from Frank! 🐾

Our wonderful therapy dog, Frank, paid a visit to our After School Club today and was a huge hit! 🐶❤️

The children loved spending time with him, giving him lots of cuddles and enjoying his calming presence. Frank certainly knows how to make everyone smile! 🥰

Thank you for visiting us, Frank — we can’t wait to see you again soon! 🐾✨
