R1 went ‘into the wild.’ We went to Forest School. Across the world, there is an increasing recognition for the benefits of nature play, particularly for the early childhood years.We have been exploring nature and the beautiful school grounds of Rhiwbeina Primary School. Our focus has been ‘love’ as we helped Kevyn the Zookeeper to help a lion to love and showed care for our forest friends. Your children are kind, loving, caring people...this week they took this even further. R1 have made this week very special.
