A Summer Term topic letter was sent home with children today. A copy of it can be found on our Class 2 Wiki here.


Children in Class 2 were also given information about how they can post on our Class 2 Wiki from home, and their first blogging challenge was set! See details on the Wiki page here.

Class One's Easter nest fun!!



Class One has had lots of fun making Easter egg nests. 




They worked with a partner to stir the mixture and then decorated with lots of eggs and marshmallows. 
They looked good enough to eat!   





We made enough mixture for everyone in the school to have one.   





What did we all think at the end? They were delicious - and a big thank you to Mrs. Hodges and Mrs. Gough from the PTA for helping us!!

We're back! And what an adventure we've had! The children have been such stars! There are lots of photos to see.
And I will download them over the weekend. I'm sure the children will fill you in on some of the highlights! My favourite challenge was the mountain walk on a very windy day. (And, of course, when they finally fell asleep at 11.30!).

Hello from Arthog!

Everyone is having a fantastic time, the weather is excellent and the children have been enjoying a wide range of adventurous activities! Today Mrs Lill's group have been down an old slate mine. This was an exciting and scary experience, including going deep into the mountain to see the furthest mining chamber. We were underground for three and a half hours. It was amazing to emerge into the bright sunshine at the end of the tunnel.

In the afternoon, we went gorge walking, which included a complete dunking in  a freezing mountain stream. We clmbed up a waterfall and the children were fantastically supportive of each other.

Mrs Dosajh's group have been rock climbing in a quarry, using proper roped climbing trchniques. After lunch, they canoed......coming back tho the centre soaking wet, but very happy. We are all waiting for a tasty tea!!

So far, the food has been excellent and most children have eaten seconds! Some had two cooked breakfasts this morning......they have certainly burned the calories off today.

See you soon
Mrs Lill
