Memorable Experience

Muddy Marvelous Minster Day!

Our trip to Minster Ruins was an unforgettable adventure, even with a bit of a soggy start! We embraced the true British weather with a fun, albeit muddy, walk to the site.

Despite the wet conditions, spirits were high as we explored the fascinating history etched into every stone of the ruins. It was incredibly educational, bringing our classroom learning to life in the most atmospheric way. From ancient architecture to tales of times gone by, there was something interesting around every corner.

A huge thank you to all the children for their enthusiasm and making it such a memorable experience!

 

 

Misty Mountain, Winding River Memorable Experience:

Our project is Misty Mountain, Winding River. We did art to make a big river and then we had to build a bridge over it. Before we did that, we watched a video about rivers and we had a challenge to answer 20 questions about rivers, like what are meanders and how many parts a river has.
