After all the necessary risk assessments had been carried out, and under close supervision and guidance, our children showed that they were totally bonkers about conkers! Lots of scooping and transferring of conkers was observed as our children created their own self-set challenges… mostly involving filling ALL the holes on the wooden boards. This naturally …
