Countryside Learning is a national #charity working to #educate, inform and inspire children, parents teachers about #country life where their food comes from.
A varied day at Otterden weather wise, we had diamonds coming out of the sky! "Countryside, Exciting opportunities and hailstones! What more could you ask for? They loved it!" #outdoorlearning
Our fortnight at Otterden started off yesterday and these children enjoyed a great scavenger hunt, making nests for acorn people and clay animals. #outdoorlearning

Follow this lamb's example and skip along to Farms for Schools members @heskethfarm this week. Some of us are still on Easter holidays and of course open weekends too. #farmvisit#outdoorlearning#easterholidays
Such a great idea to get corporate volunteers to help out at Farms for Schools members @Sacrewell Wellbeing for the volunteers and a nice helping hand for the farm, so they can offer more to visitors. Interested in getting involved? Find out more here:
