We will be returning to school at about 2pm tomorrow afternoon.

The children who have been on the residential will be able to be collected (and their very dirty washing) as soon as we arrive back at school.

Instead of Big Picture Little Picture, we took the children Pond Dipping. They found lots of interesting creepy crawlies, which they tried to identify. It was about a 20 minute walk to the ‘pond’ and for most of the journey it was dry. I did however manage to find a big puddle…

The children have all had a go on the zip wire if they wanted to.

It’s been really busy today, so I haven’t had much chance to upload photos. I’ll add some more during the holidays.

The children have appreciated listening to all of your comments, but some of them are worried about the sorts of chores you’ve got in mind for them!!!

This afternoon the children will be going down to the woods to create a large piece of art work or sculpture using the things in forest.

Pop back later for photos.

All children have now walked up the Wrekin, built shelters and fires and have looked at the village of Edgmond.

I’m sorry I haven’t got more photos on – they take ages to upload! I’ll get some more on during the Easter Holidays so keep popping back! I will try to get some up this evening!

The children have spotted a little bit of sleet…

Scrambled Egg!

What do you get if you take 38 children from Bearwood, mix them with a hike up the Wrekin, a walk around the village and fire and shelter building in the woods?

38 tired but very happy children!

It’s been a great day. We are very, very muddy.

The weather has been mixed today, with
sunshine, rain and hail! The local forecast is for sleet tonight! That might make our camp fire tomorrow evening very interesting!

The children have been split into three groups. One group has been climbing the Wrekin, one group has been walking around the village taking digital photographs and the third group have been learning how to start fires and build shelters. Even I’m muddy now!

The photos are taking ages to upload. I’ll try to get some more on today.

The children are all fine – tired but fine!
