On Monday 3rd October, Class One visited the Old Station in Lydford.
 
​The children explored the overgrown train station and platform searching for minibeasts and wildlife.
They drew observational drawings using sticks and mud, played team games with the parachute, and enjoyed exploring the Wonder Woods.
  
The class linked their History learning, studying engineers George Stephenson and Isambard Kingdom Brunel through the exploration of local structures and the remains of a steam railway.
The children’s Art learning was also developed through the close observations of different and local insects as well as the variation of brush strokes needed for their sketches and drawings.

We welcome Mrs Court and Mrs Neild to Class 1.
Mrs Court has been busy refreshing the classroom over the summer break.
We have lots to learn this half term.  Please see below for an overview and for this half term's home learning tasks.

​On Thursday 16th June Class One visited the National Marine Aquarium as part of their science topic. They enjoyed a fantastic interactive tour of the aquarium followed by a rockpool safari at Mount Batten Beach where they discovered lots of marine life. It was a fun filled experience which has really enhanced what they have been learning in the classroom. 

Children due to start school in September 2022, enjoyed their first session in forest school last week.  Class 1 children showed them around, shared their knowledge and explained what forest school is all about.  Water play and shady willow den activities were particular favourites in the hot  sunny weather.
