We know the Willow has a bit of growing to do before the houses, tunnel and discovery wall are complete. However, we couldn't resist taking the children up to the Forest Village today to show them. We are so glad that we did. The children were so excited about the new structures and it filled us with so much joy [...]
In Science we have been learning about materials. We wanted to find out which materials were waterproof. We came up with an experiment to find the best material to use as an umbrella.

Eventually, we [...]

The materials were a woolly blanket, bubble wrap and tin foil. Which one do you think will be the winner…? Everyone was surprised including [...]
