A soggy but special day for 4S 🌧️🐑
The rain didn’t stop us! We braved the cold, met the lambs and learned so much about where our food comes from. Huge thank you to Farmer Grant and Jenny from the Country Trust for making it such a memorable experience despite the weather!
A little mud, a lot of learning 💛

Those pesky spring showers can arrive at any time 🌧️ We love getting outside to play whatever the weather and Asal is proudly showing off her fantastic waterproofs and wellies!
To help us stay prepared in all weather conditions, please make sure your child has waterproofs and wellies in school at all times because we never quite know what the weather will be like!
