"Messy Families" half term event - Highwoods Country Park

Several families were able to meet this week in Highwoods Country Park for an action-packed time, organised by Mark and Naomi Snelling. On arrival, children and their families were sent out in teams on a scavenger hunt, searching for a variety of different leaves, nuts, moss and twigs, followed by free play on the climbing apparatus and swings. After a picnic lunch together teams were sent out to build dens in the woods. A great time!
