Group A and B – Kayaking and rock climbing/scrambling at the beach. Group D – Mountain and gorge walk.

Group B had a great day down the mines today. The day began with a scramble up towards the mine entrance where we had our lunch before heading in. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the mines and displayed lots of perseverance, overcoming some tough obstacles to make it through safely.

An amazing first day for Groups A and B today. Glorious sunshine made for a perfect day at the beach, rock pooling and looking for sealife. We topped this off with an ice cream! After lunch, they used their resilience to navigate back to the centre independently using map and teamwork skills. Tomorrow promises another fun-filled day with lots of

It took some resilience to make each line unique and relevant to the story. We had fun trying to draw

We’ve been inspired by the natural art all around our school grounds and have been challenged to create miniature, natural sculptures. These sculptures should capture the essence of a natural form found out in the wild. We gathered our resources and carefully glued our pieces into place. This task took lots of patience and the occasional redesign when things didn’t

In year 5, we have been researching the seasonality of vegetables and have used our knowledge to help us create our own healthy soup. We managed to whittle our choices down to three soups; tomato, potato and leek and carrot and coriander. We all enjoyed trying our soups but I think the tomato won out as the most popular!
