VCB Prep joins Inchmarlo for Forest School
Prep 1 had such good fun this morning at Inchmarlo - at last we got a dry day! The girls made new friends and went on an Autumn scavenger hunt in their mixed groups. Lots of opportunities for sharing and turn-taking as well as lots of running around. There was a little chill in the air so they all got warmed up with warm juice and a chocolate biscuit.
