5LD spent the afternoon with Beccy in Forest Schools. Beccy showed us a Wren nest and then we had a go at making our own nests out of things we foraged from the garden.#forestschools #thegreatoutdoors #nature #birdlife pic.twitter.com/79WmtKGbo4

Today year 1 went to the outdoor garden. Beccy let us hold her “treasure” which was a real birds nest. We then made our own birds nests. We also did some gardening and bird watching! What a great day! #forestschools #year1 #outdoorlearning #birdwatching #birdlife pic.twitter.com/aswxd67SvD

We have been keen to have a go in our Outdoor Garden. We raked leaves and had fun using a wheelbarrow. Looking in the pond was exciting, we saw a baby dragonfly. We have also used our senses to experience autumn treasures! pic.twitter.com/4y90VmBTrF
