๐Ÿš“๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ Police at Oxclose Community Nursery Schoolโ€ฆโ€ฆ but donโ€™t worry, everyone was innocent! โค๏ธ

We had a very important visitor at nursery - one of our fantastic local police officers. ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿš“

The police officer was amazing, showing us around the police van, letting us hear the siren and teaching us all about staying safe and helping others.

No one was arrested... although a few people were questioned, and we're still investigating who stole the police officerโ€™s jammy dodger! ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ

A huge thank you to Chris for spending the morning with us and making it such a memorable visit. The children had an absolutely fantastic time! ๐Ÿ’™ ๐Ÿš“๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Cedar Group finally made it to forest school! ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒฑ
Once we arrived, we set about exploring the forest making sure we didn't get lost, we made marks on the trees using special tree pencils (charcoal) to make a trail so we could find our way back. We had a great time exploring the very overgrown forest and had to be very careful walking on the uneven terrain and watching out for all the stinging nettles that have grown wild in the warm weather! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿƒ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿƒ
We found an amazing climbing tree ๐ŸŒณ where we could practise our climbing and had to think very carefully about taking risks and assessing if it was safe to climb.
Well done Cedar Group! We got there eventually! โค๏ธ
