Sunflower Day 29th April 2022

We are delighted yet again to be hosting this year’s Sunflower Day on the 29th of April 2022 where our mini-muddies and muddy teachers come together to have a yellow dress down day and learn all about everything that’s yellow.  From Sunflower art to Science work on bees.  We have a fun nature-based day to embed our love for all things natural.
