Outdoor Classroom Day

21st May 2026

For outdoor classroom day P1S spent the morning making Minibeast masks, followed by a Minibeast hunt. Laughter, giggles, shrieks and squeals filled the air as we turned over objects and found lots of creepy crawlers underneath.  Mrs Crothers managed to catch a huge bee ?.  

A few weeks ago we received a special delivery of baby caterpillars in the post.  We watched them munch and munch, growing bigger and eventually changing into cocoons.  Yesterday 3 beautiful butterflies emerged.
Today we sad a sad farewell as we released them.  A few children got to hold the butterflies before they flew off.
