After an introduction by the centre staff, the children split into three groups before enjoying a circuit of activities. The children did scrambling challenges on the indoor climbing wall, they braved the dark depths and trails of indoor caving and they scaled the impressive heights of the outdoor climbing tower. It was great to see the children pushing and challenging themselves and they all had a great fun.

The children had worked really hard to learn their ‘I’m still standing’ dance and they should be incredibly proud of their performance. The children also enjoyed a disco after watching the other schools’ dances.

Litton were very confident in telling us all about how their red combine harvester worked and how they made it out of boxes and wheels, whilst Chesil performed Cauliflowers Fluffy for the parents.  Bredy wrote some wonderful acrostic poems and Eggardon spoke about food banks and the vital work they do in our community.  Thank you to all the parents for their contributions to our food bank collection – a wonderful effort. On the sports field the children have been doing Archery and Football on Mondays and Chesil have been creating a wonderful range of fruit snacks and smoothies as part of their DT topic this term.  Litton have been on a trip to Bridport and also had 3 visitors in to visit (a Police Officer, a Cook and a Doctor) them as they explore their Me and My Community Topic.  Lastly, Bredy have been studying the Romans Empire and Eggardon have been researching our National Parks and their purpose and uses.
