Firstly, apologies for the confusion about what to wear. I had thought it was uniform hence reminding the children yesterday and asking the office to send a message.
We had a lovely time getting out of school for the first time in Year 1! The children were absolutely brilliant; walking a long way with no complaints. They really were a joy to take out.
We met Mr King from People Need Nature at the cemetery and he set the children about their task of collecting cuttings of Lady’s Bedstraw. They learnt how the flower got it’s name: see if they can’t tell you! We took their cuttings back to school, trimmed them down and potted them up this afternoon. The plan is to plant them in the wildflower area of the Great Field once they have rooted.
I hope next year they have lots of opportunities for trips and visitors. It enhances the curriculum so much and remains a talking point all year.
