Wednesday – Today we visited Alderley Edge Country Park.
Everyone enjoyed exploring the underground mines and the ancient woodlands – especially the very muddy areas!!

21 tired but excited little faces waved back at me as they left the country park to return to Stanton – a fantastic day was had by all.
Note to parents – we try our best to share online photos of every child but this isn’t easy – the children swap groups within groups to ensure everyone has the opportunity to work together.
Tuesday – We’re having a great time learning bushcraft skills and archery.
We’re having a great time!
