Decisions about what type of pattern to have
Getting sticky fingers
Some nearing completion!
Marco has a go after his rugby debut for the U12 C team which he loved.
Lovely finished products!
Mrs Duke was pleased with all the pupils and commended them on their creativity and industry!
Ryan and Marco made their rugby debuts in matches against KPS. The boys enjoyed the matches and the bacon butties after the game, too. Michael and Maddie were on prefects yesterday and a good number of boarders came back with Christmas gifts. You may benefit! The Lego also got its first outing.
All the boarders attended a meeting tonight to discuss whole school boarding matters so we did Quiet Hour this morning, before brunch and our departure to Slimbridge. For more info about this wonderful Wetland check our https://www.wwt.org.uk/wetland-centres/slimbridge/
The pupils were treated to an excellent presentation about the importance of Wetlands for mankind and animals. We all got a chance to meet two of the amphibians, the common toad and the Fire Salamander before meeting all the wildfowl outside. Many birds migrate to Slimbridge from much colder climates including numerous types of flamingos, swans, ducks, geese, cranes and dipping birds. Many of the pupils really enjoyed feeding these wild animals and learning about their habitat and the journeys they make each year.
The toad did not turn into a Prince!
Very slimy!
The Salamander decided to go to the toilet in this moment!
Avocets
Flamingos - they were quite smelly!
