The Year 2 children recently visited Edgmond Hall for a couple of nights – their very first residential!They walked all the way from school to Edgmond over the fields and the canal and learned lots of things about the locality on their way.

While at Edgmond they fed animals, did nature trails, made countryside crafts and spent lots of time with nature.

In the evening, two of our Governors joined us for tea and a nice long night walk through the forests, including a special visit to the Wishing Tree.

The campfire had to be postponed the second night but the children still got to roast marshmallows the next morning. We also had a special celebration for Jaylen’s birthday including a cake and flying the flag before the long walk back to school the next day.

The children learned lots of new skills including making beds, organising themselves and left the trip with a new found independence – Well done Year 2!
