Last year, Mrs Woods and Mrs Cardwell completed their Level 3 Forest School qualifications. 🌳👏

Mrs Woods attended her Forest School Graduation at Clandeboye Nature Rangers to celebrate this fantastic achievement!

We are delighted that our school is now a Birch School, with three qualified Forest School instructors. 🌲💚

We can’t wait to see the wonderful outdoor learning experiences this will bring to our children!

Our pupils love Forest School sessions with Miss Cuddy, Mrs Cardwell and Mrs Woods! 🌿💚🎉

Clayful Minds came to our class today. We made a turtle to link with our Under The Sea topic. We rolled, squashed, mixed and twisted clay to make our turtles. It was great fun and we really enjoyed being creative with the clay.
