After our very first snowfall of the year, the children showed amazing bravery and enthusiasm as they wrapped up warm and headed outside for their Forest School adventures.
We had great fun exploring together. The children splashed in muddy puddles, made amazing dens and hammocks and tried our best at firing the colourful cardboard leaf firework shooters into the air.
Because it was so cold, we did our painting indoors this week. Every child finished painting their beautiful windchimes, which are now drying and will be coming home soon.
We are so proud of Year 2 for being so resilient, cheerful, and adventurous on such a chilly day.
(And apologies in advance for the muddy washing!)
