Sefton Park trip

What a fun filled day we had today in Sefton Park! We visited the Palm House and explored the grounds. We saw beautiful flowers and fruits growing on the trees. We then visited the fairy garden, but had to be super quiet just incase we scared them away! What a fantastic day we all had, and cannot wait for our next adventure!

 

WOW visit- Dental health team 

We had a special visit from the health team who taught us all about how to keep our teeth healthy, and what happens if we don't. We received a special toothbrush and toothpaste to take home for us to practice brushing whilst at home to keep our smiles healthy!
