Over the last few weeks, our fabulous Y4 classes have been having a blast at Shirebrook Valley Nature Reserve! We've been sharpening our map skills, embarking on a fun scavenger hunt, crafting cozy habitats for hibernating animals, and soaking up the beauty of autumn. 🍁✨

It's been a wonderful way to explore nature and learn together! 🦊🌼

#NatureExplorers #Y4Adventures #FunInAutumn

Let’s brighten up the day with spots and make a difference together! Get creative with your outfits—polka dots, stripes, or anything with spots! Can’t wait to see all those fabulous looks! 📸
