We loved forest school this week which had the theme of birds. We played a fun game called ‘Eagle’s Nest’ and then took part in some other bird spotting activities. We also made clay models and built a giant nest. Well done to Ajae, Anaya, Eleanor and Aaliyah for their fantastic sea creature projects.
