We know that playing outdoors grows and nurtures resilience, self-confidence, initiative, creativity, experimentation, motor skills, social connections and so much more.\u00a0 Click here to see our photos<\/span> <\/strong><\/a>of Miss Whittingstall’s Pre-Primary students using their brilliant and wild imaginations in our nature playground.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
