What an AMAZING day at Potteric Carr. Thank you to each and every child for making it such an enjoyable day for all involved. Despite the terrible weather, not one child complained about being wet! Parents and carers, they were an absolute credit to you all, as well as to the school.
I hope everyone went home and told their parents and carers what they were doing – we reminded them not to say, ‘Nothing!’ We enjoyed a walk to the Education Centre, a minibeast hunt in the woods, a pond dipping experience and making minibeasts and habitats for them in the afternoon. We found some incredible creatures, including spiders, frogs, slugs, millipedes, newts, centipedes and woodlice. In the pond, we found other creatures such as fish, pond snails, damselfly nymphs and pond skaters. In the afternoon we enjoyed creative craft and Miss Topliss will be driving to Potteric Carr to pick them up to display in class. We had to leave them today to dry and also to make sure that they didn’t get ruined in the rain!
I hope everyone sleeps well tonight – the children certainly gave it their all today.
Lastly, thank you to those parents who came with us today. Please let me know if you would like to join us on the next trip when the letter comes out.
