We were very lucky because it was a beautiful day and the sun was shining.
To start with, we played some circle games together that were really fun.
We then explored our outdoor learning area and chatted about how to stay safe while enjoying our sessions.
Then we got some time to explore the loose parts.

We are looking forward to our next session!
