The children of the Yellow and Orange Groups had a wonderful time at Caprington woods this morning 🙂

We had great fun walking around the woodland area, collecting leaves, sticks, fir cones and acorns to make some fantastic pictures. We also investigated all the different sounds we could hear,  such as the wind blowing through the trees and the different noises our boots made as we walked through the squelchy mud and puddles!

We went on a big walk through the woods investigating all the fallen trees and branches, we then all gathered round to enjoy the story of………….
