Willow class summer school trip. Willow class had a great time at the zoo, the day started with an exciting woodland dinosaur walk, where the
children saw life sized dinosaurs that were interactive and moved.
The children learnt the dinosaur names and discussed whether
they were carnivores or herbivores. It featured 30 life size moving
and roaring dinosaurs. From cunning Velociraptors, to vast Brachiosaurus, from terrifying
Spinosaurus to unpronounceable Pachycephalosaurus, plus of course, a mighty T Rex.

they were extinct, as well as other animals that are extinct and endangered.

Willow class have enjoyed taking part in forest school this half-term. Forest school is a form of learning which takes place in forests and woodlands. The curriculum is based on child-led outdoor play, which aims to harness children’s curiosity and exploration. Children at forest schools learn through hands-on experiences and develop their imaginations through limited and simple resources—things like mud and sticks.
