What a wonderful trip to Hillier Gardens Year R had last Monday! The children were super excited to travel there on a double decker coach and took part in lots of activities! These included pond dipping, where the children could observe such creatures as newts,  making woodland dens for creatures such as hedgehogs and squirrels and sweeping nets in the long grass to catch different species of minibeasts,  such as crickets and spiders! We also spent time walking around the beautiful gardens! The children especially enjoyed walking across the wobbly bridge! We were also extremely lucky with the weather and sat and enjoyed a lovely picnic together! Well done Year R for your fantastic listening skills and displaying our school values throughout the day, and a special thank you to our lovely volunteers to help make our day out so special!
