The nursery and reception classes at Austwick Primary School have enjoyed exploring the school’s beautiful grounds, looking for signs of spring. They were delighted to find the bulbs they had planted are now flowering.
Early Years teacher Lisa Allan said “After 11 weeks at home children, parents and staff are happy to have everyone back together. During lockdown, in addition to working hard on their lessons our children enjoyed Zoom class meetings but nothing really compares to being in the classroom and having a good charge around the playground with their friends.”
Headteacher Jo Brookes said “ We spend a lot of time outside, incorporating nature and our beautiful Dales into our learning.”
