Rowan Class had a fantastic afternoon at Kingcombe for their first visit of the year. We spent time identifying trees and flowers, and paused to listen carefully to birdsong, using the Merlin app to help us recognise different species.
A wonderful start to our outdoor learning this term — we’re excited to see what the next few weeks have in store!
Chestnut & some of Rowan class are thoroughly enjoying their time at Magdelen Farm. For some this is the first time they’ve been away for not just one night but two!
They have really enjoyed a variety of activities from orienteering, spending time with the animals, tasting produce in the polytunnels, foraging in the woods and cooking over a campfire.
More tomorrow………….
Rowan class had an amazing time sailing on Tuesday 14th October. We went out in 2 boats and also had fun paddleboarding. Despite the autumn chill, we all still had great fun jumping off the paddle boards into the sea! Some of us were a little nervous to begin with but we overcame it and felt so proud after. On the way home, we all said that we would love to go again!
On Wednesday 17th September, The Bank of Dreams and Nightmares came into Rowan class to carry out a workshop on speech writing. This was a really fun and engaging morning and we all wrote some excellent speeches. Many thanks to Ed, Nick, Diana and Lizzie who came in and made our morning magical. We especially loved the badge making! They will be back in the spring term for another session with our work typed up too!
On Wednesday 9th July, the drama ensemble attended a workshop at The Marine Theatre in Lyme. We worked with a group of year 10 drama students from Woodroffe school. We began with some warm up games and then produced a small abstract tableaux to share our thoughts on a Maya Angelou poem- Life doesn’t frighten me. Before leaving we showed off a bit of our Twelfth Night production which was received with great applause. A wonderful morning was had by all.
