Magna trip

 Giraffes had a brilliant trip filled with discovery, excitement and wonder on their joint Federation trip to Magna with Dove Holes and Peak Dale Schools. 

We learnt lots of new things and made links with science topics we have explored at school.



After a long bus journey, we spent a bit of time letting off steam in the adventure playground.
