A new outdoor classroom has been officially unveiled at a West Norfolk primary school.
Pupils can enjoy learning in the great outdoors after a ribbon-cutting opening ceremony last Thursday with headteacher Louise Jones performing the honours alongside Nick Pratt, a Norfolk Deputy Lieutenant.
The project was completed a few months ago and some lessons have already been held at the outdoor area.

Ms Jones said: “The wonderful new area, which includes a pond, nature area, bug hotel and storytelling area, was designed and built by Artisan Structures.”
The grand opening was a family event with food and drink, free activities including wood-turning, forest school activities, mini golf, and also talks and readings about local nature, beekeeping and bushcraft.
