🦋 Butterfly Garden Project at The Marina
Lovely start to one of our first projects of our extra curricular's with our early years children here at The Marina. Well done Sophie for taking the lead with this and bringing the children’s ideas to life.

Over the last few weeks, Sophie has been gathering the children’s ideas through lots of brainstorming and discussions. Together, they’ve created our wonderful butterfly garden using origami!

Amazing work everyone—looking forward to seeing what you create next!
