This little learner wanted to make a Kite - she needed something to make a cross on the back of it ''like some thin sticks'' so off we went to forest school!

In Forest School, 6MF explored the question "Does human activity affect where invertebrates live?" They responded with a resounding YES! When asked why, they gave insightful answers, showing a strong understanding of how our actions affect wildlife. 🐞🌿

Throwback to the beautiful weather last week!

Spending time in nature, gives us a feeling of awe and wonder, like when you see a rainbow, a butterfly.

We used our observational skills to notice things that made us stop.. and say, "Wow!"

Take a look at our "WOW" moments.☀️😀🌼
