Magdelen Residential

Magdelen Residential

Rowan, Juniper and Oak had an amazing 2 night residential to Magdalen Farm. We enjoyed orienteering, feeding pigs, goats, chickens and cows. We also made smoothies on the blender bikes, built dens in the woods, made pizzas in the outdoor wood oven, collected eggs, sang songs around the camp fire, star gazed and of course ate lots of lovely food. We were really looked after by all the Magdalen staff especially our guide: Tilda. Your young people were exemplary and did us all proud.

Laurel Class Outdoor Learning

Laurel Class Outdoor Learning

This term Laurel Class have enjoyed Outdoor Learning sessions with Katie! We spend a session each Wednesday in our back field re-telling the story of ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’, making our way through snowstorms, the river and thick mud before finally getting back to base safely. It’s always lovely to be out and about and seeing the children engrossed in their learning!
