🌿🎂 Forest School fun! Our little explorers made a muddy leafy birthday cake (with stick candles!) for their friend’s big day 🍃🎉 Bonus: mud cupcakes too! 🧁💚 After a hot Sports Day, we cooled off with an epic water fight 💦 So proud of their joy & teamwork! 🌳☀️ #ForestSchool pic.twitter.com/nV6ywasLxp— The Vale Academy (@TheValeAcademy) June 20, 2025

Every day in school matters. Good attendance helps pupils build friendships, keep up with learning, and feel part of the school community. Let’s help every child get the best start! #SchoolAttendanceMatters #EveryDayCounts pic.twitter.com/DT1YUELP6u— The Vale Academy (@TheValeAcademy) June 9, 2025

This week at Forest School, our brave explorers tried the hammock! 🌳💤 With trees for support and careful steps, they relaxed under rustling leaves.
Ms. Burn tested it first—“like a pea in a pod!” one giggled. We couldn’t agree more! 😄🌿#ForestSchool #OutdoorLearning pic.twitter.com/W0Cs6pBizE— The Vale Academy (@TheValeAcademy) May 23, 2025
