Leaving their parents behind with excited squeals, and some butterfly tummy moments this lovely group of children had the absolutely best time ever! Despite some rain they took part in a range of outdoor activities which challenged them, excited them and made them laugh out loud.
The defining moment for any teacher/ head teacher is when the centre leader commented that out children had been noted by her staff as having excellent team work skills. Go Woodies!
The first thing heard from a Y3 visitor was " It's so small!"
The children from Kings Heath were welcomed by Woodpeckers, and taken on a tour of the local area. After establishing that there are no houses, the sheep and lambs are cute and 'noisy', and that it's beautiful the children chatted in pairs from each school and the conversation quickly turned comparisons of X Box games!
I think we concluded that whilst geographically our schools are in very different areas, we learn the same , play the same and have fun in the same ways!
This week we have submitted our beautiful whole school piece of art to the exhibition held at Worcester Cathedral. The children were inspired by a visiting local artist, Mr Ken Dukes. After asking him many questions about technique and inspiration, they set off with viewfinders and cameras and selected a favourite spot. After sketching, they painted their images using acrylics and finally Mrs Byrne put the whole piece together in a real window frame!
It now stands proudly in the cloisters at the cathedral, to be admired by the general public as well as the organisers, the Severn Arts Team. make sure you visit!
