Thank you @debrakidd.bsky.social absolute joy following the lead of our children and building their relationship with the world around them. I’m so proud of our children and what the team are passionately provoking and facilitating.
The children learn about ethical actions by partnering up with a community conservation group dedicated to planting tree species that are resilient in the face of climate change. Today their lovely exhibition raised funds to continue their work.

Absolute best start to a snowy day observing our 3 years olds leading their learning with their parents during Sharing Learning Morning. Such motivation, joy and confidence seen. Parental engagement was so beautiful to see.
