Grown-ups, please help your children write the answers on paper to bring in, or take a photo and send it to the class email.
Reception children – talk to your family about your minibeast hunts in the Nursery Wild Garden and in our Forest School. Look out for minibeasts in and around your home or on your walk to and from school. Please do not stay outside too long and stay safe in the sun.
