Oaks were really happy to back out in the woods for the last couple of weeks of term. We had a morning investigating lots of different insects, including beetles, woodlouse, millipedes, worms and slugs…which we very gently touched to experience how slimy they were!

Oaks then made a variety of creatures, including a Play-Doh ladybird an melon snail and pinecone bees! And also had lots of fun exploring and playing together
