This morning, we braved the elements to walk up to the war memorial to pay our respects to those who fought in the war. It was lovely to all join together to mark this very important occasion.
Wow! What a first day! The children have been amazing and have represented our school ethos in every possible way- we are very proud of them! They have aspired to achieve, by pushing themselves out of their comfort zone and into their stretch zone, by jumping from great heights onto an airbag and completing an assault course, or climbing and abseiling. They have been kind and collaborative, supporting one another to complete the challenges and to manage organising themselves. They have been open and honest, with themselves and with others, when facing challenges. They have been respectful of themselves in their decision making and respectful of others with their decision making. They have definitely welcomed new experiences and shown their super learning powers. This is what it's all about- all coming together for an amazing time with their friends on this trip- well done from a super-proud staff team! Day 1 photos
Bumblebee Class had a wonderful visit to the Steam Museum & Gardens. We enjoyed visiting the engine shed and the museum, making comparisons between the past and present. We learnt about why Steam engines were important and we were shocked to see how big they were! In the gardens we completed observational drawings of plants and flowers and completed a flower hunt. The children particularly enjoyed the two steam train rides and finishing the day with a ride on the gallopers and an ice cream!
We all had a lovely afternoon making a whole range of Christmas decorations. All the children were mixed up and spent the afternoon rotating between different groups. Year 6 were our group leaders and looked after the younger children as they moved around the school. It was lovely to see the different ages working so well alongside each other. Merry Christmas everyone!
