Chestnut Class – Kingcombe Wildlife Centre

Chestnut Class – Kingcombe Wildlife Centre

This term for Science, Chestnut Class are learning about ourselves, the environment, wildlife, horticulture and learning some skills on how to cope in an emergency.  We had a fantastic first trip to Kingcombe Wildlife Centre yesterday, where we’ll be visiting on a weekly basis this term.  We walked around the centre looking and taking photos of “nature”.  All the students and staff enjoyed being outside and enjoying the lovely weather..  We were even able to have lunch outside before going off as a group exploring.

Kingcombe Visitor Centre is part of Dorset Wildlife Trust.  The centre is a great place to enjoy and relax whilst exploring the natural world.  It’s provides peace and tranquility in their wildlife gardens, orchards, bird hide, meadowland and boardwalk.  It’s open to the public and is free to visit.

Christmas Jumper Day 8th December

 

We are celebrating Christmas Jumper Day on 8th December, which will hopefully bring some colour to this very gloomy December, and to raise funds for Save the Children.
Please wear something Christmasy tomorrow and if you can, spare some change which will be collected in school. If you prefer to donate direct to Save the Children, here is a link to the school’s Just Giving page:
