Climbing Tree
We have had a climbing tree (trunk and branches of a tree lying on it’s side) installed in
Nature’s Den, our outdoor classroom area. The children love it although at the moment we are
only letting them on it with staff directly supporting. It is fabulous and a great new addition
to the school. Staff have reported the some children have been really testing themselves on
how high they can go; starting out cautiously but going a little bit further each time. This is
fantastic as it really shows them thinking and managing the situation for themselves. They
are definitely more adventurous than the staff. Next time you are in school look through the
fence from the car park and you will be able to see it. Maybe even have a go on it at the
Family Fun Day on Saturday 27th June.
