Have you spotted the lions yet?

A pride of beautifully decorated lion sculptures has arrived in Harlow as part of the Lions on the Loose art trail!

From now until September, you can discover the colourful lions hidden across our streets, parks and open spaces, creating a FREE family-friendly trail that's perfect for exploring the town this summer.

As well as celebrating creativity and community, the trail is helping raise vital funds for St Clare Hospice.

Something for everyone! 😀

Spending time outdoors can play an important role in children’s wellbeing, learning, confidence and development.

However, busy routines, safety concerns and limited access to outdoor space can make it harder for families, schools and carers to prioritise time in nature.

Our latest guide shares simple, practical ideas to help children reconnect with the natural world, including:
• Noticing wildlife during everyday routines
• Taking familiar activities outside
• Creating mini adventures
• Growing plants or building nature at home
• Using technology to identify birdsong, insects and wildlife
• Supporting older children with independence and sensible risk-taking

With realistic ideas for all ages, the guide helps make outdoor time feel accessible, enjoyable and worthwhile.

With such a busy few weeks, we almost forgot to share another trip!

Mr Ralph, Mrs Coles, Miss Lewis and seven lucky Year 5 children had the incredible opportunity to visit Wimbledon, where they watched the Men’s Doubles Quarter Finals. They also enjoyed exploring the stunning grounds, soaking up the amazing atmosphere, and, of course, treating themselves to the traditional strawberries and cream! 🍓🎾
