As well as 12 wonderful children, Squirrel Class is also made up of Mrs Jones, Miss Woodhead, Mrs Beat and Mrs Cunningham, who are there to help the Squirrels be the best they can be!!

They really enjoying learning through play and exploration. See the photos below in our gallery of what we have been up to over the last few weeks.
