Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Children demonstrate high levels of energy and enthusiasm as they enjoy forest school activities, and extensive opportunities for outdoor learning.

Activities: Children decide to make their own volcano. They skilfully use spades to dig a large hole and carefully collect water from a water butt.
