Our children @RanbyHouse have enjoyed starting planting trees to repair a 100+ year old hedgerow. Many of them marked "their" tree with a pebble with their name on it so they can find it in years to come. 120 trees done. Another 90 to go!

Last few places remaining on this summer's brightest and bestest music course for 6-13 year olds. We're fully covid-friendly and have both day and boarding places available, but hurry because they're going to go quickly! Book by 1 July https://t.co/mDMpcl409N

All the children made a wood slice mosaic to represent feelings of hope around lockdown. Well done @RanbyHouse

[Ranby House @RanbyHouse]

Brilliant end to the day with a, 'Welcome to Ranby House 🙂' made by all the children in their final challenge of the day. Such a great day with everyone back on site. Thank you @DroneDefence for the footage @RanbyHeadmaster

I’ve just discovered ‘footplinths’. Compressed snow by footprints is left behind as the softer snow around it melts. The footprints then seem to emerge from the snow as they’re left in relief. Very cool.
