Children from Woolley Wood Special School had a very special day out to the woods that give the school its name. The children broke free of the confines of the classroom to take part in fun, educational, confidence-building games.

Multi-sensory experiences are important for all children, but particularly for those with multiple and profound physical and learning difficulties. The day was also a great experience for teachers and assistants, who say they will definitely be returning to the woods.

One of the main activities of the day was to gather acorns that the children will grow into little oak trees; these trees will then go with the school and the children when they move on to their new school building which is under construction.
