Outdoor Learning Adventure!

Children from our Derby nursery had so much fun on our outdoor learning adventure at Darley Park! 

They explored in the woods, balancing on fallen tree trunks and showed off their physical skills whilst climbing trees.  

The children also read the brilliant "Room on the Broom" by Julia Donaldson which inspired them to create their own broomstick. Everyone searched for a variety of branches and worked together as a team to make their very own "truly magnificent broom".

Well done everyone!
