Another action-packed day on the Y6 residential. Water sports on Carsington Water, climbing above the High Peak Trail and hiking along Dovedale and up Thorpe Cloud - all in beautiful sunshine. One more activity tomorrow morning before heading home. LOTS more photos to come once we’re back.
A stunning first day at Ilam with the Y6 children. Everyone has taken part in one of hiking, climbing, giant stand up paddleboarding or kayaking with more activities taking place over the next couple of days. After tea, evening entertainments were bingo, a quiz and circle games and now the children are all settling down to sleep, recharging for another action packed day tomorrow.
Y3 have been taking a close look at plants this week, learning about the functions of roots, stems, leaves and flowers. They have identified how many petals, carpels and stamen different flowers have and the functions of each part. They also have their own flower to take care of so that they can continue to investigate and observe scientifically what happens over time.
