We saw the tiny barley crop with its roots and shoot coming from the seed. Walking across towards the farm we were rewarded with fantastic views towards Lundy overlooked [...]
What a lovely afternoon's service! Class 4 started us off with a walk through from 1868. What would they put in a Time Capsule back then? We fast tracked back to the present day and opened up their Time Capsule only to start another in the present day... and again we zoomed to the school of the future where they [...]
Class 2 have been reading a book about disgusting sandwiches and this morning they made great efforts at making thier worst yet.

Yet another successful bike riding day! ...Only a couple of grazed knees and chains fallen off, but altogether an amazingly good day!

We then took to the playground on our bikes! We practised peddling in straight lines and whizzing around cones. We also played a game of relay [...]

We watched the condensed version of 'A Plastic Ocean' and the children could really see what happens to [...]
