An Activity Day in Tandle Hill Country Park!
As part of their 'Activity Week' all pupils from Estcourt and Hulme court spent the day with park rangers, learning new skills and team building.
They went bug hunting in the forest, den building, orienteering, and made works of art using natural things that they foraged for.
Each group was split into different ages and gender and it was really interesting to watch them interact and discuss what to do with each other.
It was an extremely exhausting but exhilarating day in which everyone learnt something about themselves (adults included)!
