YEAR 4 SKILLS WEEK

Our Year 4 Skills Week began with an interesting guest speaker Tarzee, who helped us to learn all about Indian religion, dance, clothing, music and food in fascinating ways. That night, we enjoyed drinking hot chocolate around a fire and camping under just a few stars as it was the longest day of the year. Linked to our WW2 topic, we travelled to Eype on Wednesday where we based ourselves in a homely and inspirational bungalow. On a long and hilly walk, we discovered look-out shelters along the stunning coastline and developed our landscape sketching and drawing skills. The weather was fantastic and we were pleased to eat our picnic on the beach, paddle and some of us even found fossils. On Thursday we drove to the History Festival and made the most of the opportunity to chat to land girls, learn from soldiers and experience life in the trenches. Not surprisingly, after such a busy week, we used Friday as an opportunity for mindfulness all day!
