The sun was shining and every class managed to be involved in learning outdoors.
We had games in the MUGA, treasure trails, sensory trails, parachute games, Maureen our Art Therapist even took her session outdoors.

The day and week finished with an assembly from Classes Mull and Islay.
They had planned for everyone to decorate their own wooden spoons to placed on the mound.
A DVD was shown of classes Mull and Islay taking part in outdoor learning experiences and then everyone marched out to the mound to place their spoons. Thankfully the sun was shining………..
