Outdoor Learning Club<\/h2>\n

The Outdoor Learning Club were busy at their last session of 2024. Their challenge was to work as a team, building a huge den they could all fit in. They used their imagination and worked so well as a team. They used bamboo sticks to hold it up and even built a campfire. Then we had hot chocolates to heat us up from the winter weather!<\/em><\/p>\n
