The children had a great time playing a huge game of hide and seek in the woodland area, and then they had to go and find their adventurous teddy… All of the children closed their eyes and counted while teddy hid, and then went off in search of him… They searched high and low, and found teddy in a tree!

All of the children had a go at climbing the tree to retrieve teddy with the help and support of the staff, and when they finally got him back, they all worked together to build him a special house in the forest!

Great work by all – and a great time had in the forest!
