Lovely day with Tracey at Forest School! 🌳
The children explored weather changes, hunted dinosaurs 🦕, and made bird feeders for the Big Bird Watch 🐦. Winter‑animal yoga + scarf dancing ❄️🧘‍♀️.
What would your child enjoy most?

🌊🦀 Forest School Beach Clean at Man Sands

Our Forest School students did a fantastic job caring for the coastline at Man Sands, collecting litter & protecting local wildlife. A brilliant example of teamwork, responsibility & living our Torlands values in action.
