We had a fantastic time at the Coastal Zone this morning…we learned lots about all the different sea creatures around the local area and even got to touch some sea urchins!! The rain managed to stay away too and we enjoyed our picnics outside. We even got an extra treat and visited the park on the way home. All the children were absolute superstars and Miss Simpson was very proud!!
Fit Friday!
We finished off our walk to school week with ‘Fit Friday’. Everyone took part in lots of different activities outside including football, tag rugby, rounders, badminton, circuits and even a game of duck, duck goose! The children had great fun and got lots of fresh air and exercise!
