Happy 100th Birthday to David Attenborough!
Today we celebrated in the best possible way – by exploring and appreciating the natural world around us. From filming our own documentaries, handling minibeasts, creating bug hotels, producing animal fact files and classification keys, to searching for tadpoles, it has been a day full of discovery and adventure.
We were also incredibly excited to feature on BBC Radio Nottingham and BBC East Midlands today!
A wonderful day inspired by a man who has encouraged generations to care for our planet! 🌍

We loved today’s oracy assembly ✨
