A lovely morning at Heaton Park today with my #nurture #ks2 #primary pupils. We chatted to a turkey, stroked a goat, laughed at a pig, and felt dizzy on the spinny swing! An eventful morning with the boys 💙 #thisisap #outdoorsinautumn #learning @Head_TheHeights

Messy play sensory tray afternoon today. We explored different colours, textures and patterns. Their faces tell me this was a huge hit and was enjoyed by all, even me 🤣 (not that I had much choice)! #ks2 #nurture #primary #thisisap #sensorytray #playtherapy @Head_TheHeights
