Year 6 leavers' assembly 2013.

Our Year 6 pupils put on an amazing show for us again this year. The children worked really, really hard to produce some really moving, funny and entertaining performances. Special thanks to all the teachers involved.

Year 6 camp - Georgeham, Devon.

Year 6 camp this year was based in Georgeham, Devon.
We tried lots of new and exciting activities that we otherwise wouldn't have tried;
We slept in huge bell tents, went surfing, had a BBQ, tried coasteering, told scary stories around the campfire, helped the National Trust with a beach clean, learned how to be safe with the RNLI and lots, lots more.

Everyone had a great time as you can see from the pictures below...

Year 4 Trip to the floating ballast seed garden and Arnolfini.

As part of our 'Eat a Metre' topic we took a trip to the floating ballast seed garden at Bristol Harbour and Arnolfini.
We learned all about the history of Bristol from an amazing storyteller on a boat journey along the harbour.

The garden is a project from Brazilian artist Maria Thereza Alves. Between 1680 and the early 1900's ships' ballast - earth, stones and gravel from trade boats from all over the world used to weigh down the vessel as it docked - was offloaded into the river at Bristol. The ballast contained the seeds of plants from wherever the ship had sailed

We also got to look around the Arnolfini art gallery, get all creative and produce our own works of art in our groups.

The wonderful teachers and children at Longnor Primary School in Shropshire welcomed us once again to their beautiful school.

We set up camp on their field for three days and used this as a base to explore the surrounding areas.

We visited historical Church Stretton, enjoyed Fish & Chips, investigated hedgerows, made new friends, witnessed a powerful bull, saw three day old calves on a working organic dairy farm and lots, lots more...

Martell found a Great Crested Newt.
