Watch the presentation of my Outdoor Education Bill

There isnโt a subject on the curriculum that canโt be enhanced by outdoor learning - the Fibonacci sequence is seen in the petals of a flower, the scales of a pine cone and the seeds of a sunflower.

Thanks for attending the drop-in event at Stokenham Parish Hall
