Despite the drizzle, the Year 6s had a fantastic day out at the Chantry for their transition sports day. They took part in a number of track and field events and had the opportunity to meet many of the children they will be going up to high school with.
Do you think he saw us?
Year 6 had a fantastic day out on the River Severn last week. They had the opportunity to learn from Andy Train, a former Olympian and co-creator of the infamous 'bell boat' on how to work as a successful bell boating team.
On our final day at Folly Farm we headed back up into the woods. David, our instructor, talked about the different reasons for building a shelter. The children then split into two groups to design and build their own waterproof shelter. They were warned a storm was coming (David, Mrs Gregory and Mrs Gibbons armed with cups of water). The children soon found out how successful at keeping them dry their shelters were!
Afterwards, we spent some time around the camp fire and the children learnt about the fire triangle. They then tried lighting their own fires and toasting marshmallows.
Then, sadly, it was time to leave Folly Farm and return home. The children were a credit to both their parents and the school and had a fantastic time away.
This was our view last night as we went up onto the hill to play some games, an excellent way to get the children tired for bedtime!
Everyone slept well and was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed ready for their second day. Today was all about filming, scripting, editing and narrating a wildlife film. The children have been working in groups to put their films together, using their knowledge of the habitats of Folly Farm to decide what creatures to make the main stars of their productions.
Tonight will be Film Night where everyone will get to see all their hard work come together.
