Invasion Memorable Experience:

In spite of some torrential downpours, Kilimanjaro had a marvellous time on their memorable experience to the Minster Ruins. The children discussed what they think life there might have been like in the past and why the ruins look the way they do now.

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.
