Tasty treats from our garden
This week we were able to see the fruits of our labours, we harvested strawberries and broad beans from our garden. Our wildflower meadow is looking beautiful and it looks like our sunflowers are going to be very tall by September.

Toys through time
The children have enjoyed finding output about toys and how they have changed over time. Today we explored some Victorian replica toys, it was great to see that we still found them lots of fun.
Story telling puppets
