Avon Tyrrell - September 2024
On September 11th, our Year 5 cohort headed out on the first trip of the school year - a 2-night stay at Avon Tyrrell in the New Forest!
It was a little nerve-wracking for some children to stay away from home, but everyone faced their fears with determination and bravery to make some fantastic memories.
The weather was mostly kind (apart from a 10 minute hail storm!) and we managed to enjoy the great outdoors taking part in so many activities: kayaking on the lake (which ended up as a water dip for some); making and launching giant catapults; using knots to make and float a raft - with some very soggy end results and cycling through the beautiful woodland.
We were very well-fed with some delicious hot meals three times a day and after packed days of activities, we all slept well in our dormitories.
Here is a selection of some of our favourite photographs of the trip.
Avon Tyrrell - Year 5
In Year 5, the children have been inspired to write by reading the story Wisp - A Story of Hope.
Idris lives in a refugee camp which is full of people, but where everyone is alone. There are no rivers or seas to swim in and no trees to give shade. One day, a tiny, bright wisp appears in the dirt: an insect-size glowing light that, when it finds the right person, fills them with a memory of their life before the refugee camp: a memory that gives them just a little hope once again.
One night, when the wisp settles before Idris, he waits for it to give him a memory, but none appears: he has never lived anywhere but the refugee camp, so it can’t give him a memory. Instead, it gives him something else: a promise. (BookTrust)

Amazing Art Work
Across our school, the children have explored the work of great artists and have practiced using a range of art techniques. In Year 4 and Year 6 the children have learnt about printing - in Year 4 blocking printing to create repeating patterns whilst in Year 6 the children have progressed their learning further by exploring collagraphy printing.
