Reception : Audley End

Reception had a fantastic day out at Audley End, We travelled through the woods on the miniature train, enjoying the beautiful surroundings and spotting fairy houses on our journey. After that, we set off on foot to explore the forest. We loved the fairy walk, with magical houses, clearings, water features and tunnels around every corner. There were lots of opportunities to practice our writing and letter formation as well, labelling some of the things we found and writing messages to leave for the fairies!

Having stopped for lunch, we continued to explore the setting, and then finished-off the day in the adventure playground. Clambering over the climbing frame, sliding down poles and squeezing through tunnels we tired ourselves out, which meant there was lots of snoozing on the coach journey home! We really enjoyed our trip, and it gave us lots to build on and talk about when we got back to school.  

Caterpillars : Standalone Farm

Caterpillars had a brilliant day out at Standalone Farm in Letchworth. While there, we met the cows, sheep, chickens, pigs and goats, explored the farmland and watched the rabbits and guinea pigs scurry around their pens. We also learnt how cows are milked (practicing on a giant plastic cow), rode on the mini-tractors and had great fun in the play area. It was a great day out and we all behaved excellently, showing how much we have progressed this year.

Year 3 & 4 : Celtic Harmony Camp 

At the start of June, Years 3 and 4 visited Celtic Harmony Camp in Hertford to support their history topic, which has focussed on life in Ancient Britain.

We took part in a series of activities that helped us to understand what life was like in the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages, building shelters, making bread, shaping tools, moulding pots and exploring the woodlands. We had a great day out and it really helped to bring the past to life!
