SOUNDS LIKE FUN? IT CLEARLY IS!!!

Crucially however, whilst spending most of their time giggling, they will cover a wide range of the Early Years Foundation Stage without even knowing it.

This is the best kind of classroom,
No walls, just sky and trees,
This is the best kind of classroom,
No radiators, just a gentle breeze.
This is the best kind of classroom,
Its a journey through time and space,
From the smallest seed to the largest tree,
This is a forest and a learning place.
This is the best kind of classroom,
Where seasons don’t happen in books.
Where learning is watching and thinking and talking,
And everyone notices, everyone looks.
