Some of our children enjoyed their very first weekly Forest School session today at St Ann’s Community Orchard, and what a fantastic start it was! 🌱🔥 They loved exploring the natural environment, identifying plants and animals, and even toasting popcorn on the fire. The children were fully engaged, curious and joyful throughout the session. A huge thank you to the wonderful team at St Ann’s Community Orchard for providing such a rich, memorable and inspiring experience. 🥰
