Happy 50th Anniversary of Earth Day!

Forest School activities at home
For anyone wishing to have a go at Forest School type activities at home. I have attached below 4 documents:
- a list of ideas that you can do indoors
- a list of ideas that you can do outdoors
- KS1 Wild bingo board

If you complete a full house on the bingo board, you will receive a certificate! If you take photos as evidence, they can be e-mailed to Miss Edge via the school office.
