The funded Nature Friendly Schools project has now ended. This account remains live for schools to share their own journey towards becoming ‘nature-friendly’.

In the meadow this week we have pretended to make gingerbread men in the kitchen. We then ran like the gingerbread man calling "run, run, as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man". @NatureFSchools
