Children in Y3 enjoy a winter walk exploring the local area in Ecclesall Woods, their summer walk takes them a little further away from school where they start to venture out onto Blacka Moor Nature Reserve.

On a half termly basis your child will take part in an outdoor learning day, these days equip them with a variety of skills from tying knotts to building shelters and using equipment such as loppers and saws. Along side this core values such as resilience, friendship and cooperation are certainly enhanced.
