ENVIRONMENTAL EXPLORERS

​

 

Bringing the senses alive as we explore the natural world of the park – a delight for Nursery and Reception classes (and adults too!)­. For Years 1 and 2 we investigate the environment in a more structured way, discovering the animals and plants that make their homes in the different habitats around the park.
