🌊🐟 World Oceans Day 🐟🌊

Today we celebrated World Oceans Day, learning about the vital role our oceans play in supporting life on Earth. It was a great opportunity for our little ones to explore ways we can care for our seas by reducing litter, using less plastic, and protecting marine habitats. Together, we can help create a cleaner, healthier future for the wonderful animals and plants that live beneath the waves. 💙🌊🐠

🐝 Happy world Bee day 🐝

We have had a lovely time at the farm today as we are learning about animals and baby animals that are being born at this time of year.
