When they had found them all they counted how many they had. Some pots had over 100 potatoes. Great counting by Kingfishers! After counting them they then weighed them and with their […]

Today the Swans and Owls kiddles went to London for a Roald Dahl experience. First stop was the South Bank Centre to see ‘Wondercrump’, a magical interactive journey revealing the secrets of Dahl’s extraordinary life.
