Today was our first school trip to Westonbirt and what fun we had!
First we became Nature Detectives searching for leaves of different shapes, sizes and colours. Hugo found the biggest leaf and Sam’s skeleton leaf was fascinating. We also collected other woodland treasures; acorns, sweet chestnuts and their prickly shells, lichen, moss, sticks and pine cones.
Then we impressed Mrs Saeed with our climbing and balancing skills in the woodland playground and some of us went for a ride on the “story train”.
We then found three houses in need of some repair so spent time rebuilding them (more than once as the big bad wolf kept blowing them down!).
After lunch we had another wander in the woods where most of us enjoyed a run to burn off our excess energy (others of us were rather tired by now so enjoyed a gentle stroll).
Finally it was time to get back on the coach and go back to school.
The children were all superbly behaved and Mrs Saeed and Mrs Nicholls were very proud of them all. Thank you to all the parents that came to help. We had a fantastic day!
