This is excellent - thank you so much for the activity. It will be very useful for my Reception class, and maybe for J1 too. I've just worked all the way through it and it's good to find and activity that isn't 'done in five minutes'. Thank you again.

Hi Fran. Sorry you're having issues with Town Trail. When we tried the Green Vegetable Sort activity in the office it seemed to work OK. Sometimes the drag and drop feature can be a bit fiddly when trying to drop items onto the trolley.

Let me know if you need any more help.
Thanks
