Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.

• Course correction

  Wed 23 Oct 2019
  Despite going the wrong way, the children managed to relocate on the map and plan a route back. A lot more use of maps and compass on the way back.  Children were starting to sort out the navigation Ds.  Direction, duration, description, distance and destination. 
  All back at camp safely and a good lunch sets us up for this afternoon. 

  

• First big navigation error of week

  Wed 23 Oct 2019
  Children leading decided not to use map and follow their noses.   Good learning curve as it has put on at least 2km to the route.   

• Wednesday morning

  Huge breakfast this morning 

   Offto walk it off before bushcraft activities and art this afternoon. 

• A good day so far

  Tue 22 Oct 2019

  There has been a lot of yawning around camp today. Mainly by staff.

  Despite that we have had a good day of walking around site looking at mushrooms and doing map work. 
  Thee children learned how to orientate their maps using a compass or using geographic features. They did some basic bearing work and then took part in a competition to use their map skills. 
  Behaviour has been good today and they have had lots to eat.  A night walk awaits in a few minutes and then music around the fire followed by chapter 2 of the class book.  
  Hopefully an earlier night and a lie in so that we can complete the fire challenge tomorrow and some lovely leaf printing. 
   

  

• staff lack of sleep

  Tue 22 Oct 2019
  Not just a late night but an early morning with a few tents making noise. 
   

• Late night on camp.

  Mon 21 Oct 2019
  Kids settled well but still have occasional child coming out for toilet. Hope fire lasts or staff will be cold.   It has been a while since we were up until midnight and beyond. 

• First day at camp

  Mon 21 Oct 2019
  A good first day at year 5 camp. All children sorted out with tents and sleeping bags and walking kit.  Weather has been good and a good walk from the glacial boulder through Brockton woods, up to visit a time machine overlooking Milford and a walk along the valley via the stepping stones. 
  A good meal was had by all followed by a quick play in the dark before teacher led games under the trees and we are currently having story time around the fire. 
  Tomorrow is activity day on camp so hopefully they will all get a good nights sleep.  

• Year 3 back after a fabulous two night camp in the forest. The staff have been very professional of their behaviour and attitudes.
