Forest Schools
Owls and Dragonflies had a great morning at our Forest School site creating shelters with our leader, Kris.
The Dragonfly Camping Challenge
As part of our Polar Explorers topic and Mental Health Awareness Week, Dragonfly Class were challenged to overcome an unusual team mission: could they work together to construct a tent? Perseverance, patience and determination were the key values of the day – the children also had a glimpse of just what it takes to be a polar explorer like Captain Scott, with many agreeing that his mission was far trickier than they first realised!
Thank you to the Collins and Beddoes families for lending the tents.
