• Squirrels trip to Anton Lakes

  Mon 22 May 2017
  On Monday 25th May we went to Anton Lakes to explore the water life. We were met by Boycie and Charlotte who explained to the children what we were going to do and how to be safe near the water. The children were split into groups of 3, one was using the net to catch insects and the other two were at the tray sorting the pond life into groups. The children would swap around and have many goes searching in the lakes. Then the children had an opportunity to draw the creatures they had found. Finally Charlotte and Boycie went through the insects with a special camera which was projected on to the screen. We saw a snails heart beat! We looked closely at a dragon fly and discovered how they can swim so well.                                     
  The children were extremely well behaved, loved learning outside and particularly enjoyed the hands on activities provided by the education team.
  A wonderful afternoon in the sun shine

  

• Badgers trip to Kidania

  Thu 18 May 2017

  Badgers class trip to Kidzania, London allowed the children to undertake a variety of experiences in a scaled down city, as described below:

  As in the real world, children perform "jobs" and are either paid for their work (as a fireman, doctor, police officer, journalist, shopkeeper, etc.) or pay to shop or to be entertained. The indoor theme park is a city built to scale for children, complete with buildings, paved streets, vehicles, a functioning economy, and recognisable destinations in the form of "establishments" sponsored and branded by leading multi-national and local brands.
