Kingswood Day 3

Day 3 is upon us and after fuelling up on another cooked breakfast, it was time to get started on this morning’s activities: fire lighting, problem solving and low ropes. In the afternoon, we encountered our first track experience. Formula 1 here we come! Caving tested the nerves of many – all emerged unscathed and […]

Kingswood Day 2

After a good night’s sleep and a hearty breakfast, it was time for our first activities of the day. Group 1 conquered their fears to whizz through the air at high speed on the zip wire, whilst Group 2 put their climbing skills to the test and scaled a 25ft wall! Next the children put […]

Blog week 33

This week, the children have been learning about time and non-fiction text. They enjoyed using the laptops to research facts about tigers. In Science, they carried out an investigation based around the question ‘Do all apples have the same amount of seeds?’ They were surprised by their findings. What do you think?
