Autumn Rambles
September 5th, 2023We have been taking advantage of the much needed sunshine this week and taking the classroom outside. We have been exploring the natural heritage of Fanore by visiting and learning all about shell middens. The midden in Fanore can be dated back 6000 years and provides one of the earliest pieces of evidence of humans living in the area
As the season turns we have also been exploring our local hedgerows for signs of autumn and recording our findings.
