Outdoor learning
Our students love getting outdoors every day, whether they’re climbing, riding bikes and trikes, or getting hands-on in our sand kitchen. Spending time in the fresh air instils a love of exploration and discovery, engages our children in practical learning, and develops a host of social and physical skills.
