• Thursday's update

  Thu 24 Sep 2015 Karen Cartwright

  The sun shone on Swanage again today and the group enjoyed a walk around the town meeting all sorts of people  - from old ladies to Vikings -  so that they could learn about the history of Swanage.  They enjoyed lunch on the beach and had time to build castles, dig holes and paddle in the sea.  In the afternoon they went crabbing, catching about 8 really big ones.  They have a final session of swimming and then a camp fire left to enjoy tonight before heading back to school in the morning. 

  Home journey was very exciting today.  We went to Sedgehill in the morning and worked in the music department.  We sang into microphones and listened to some of their talented singers.  We then worked on the computer to produce a backing track.  Mrs Lawson is hoping to use it for dance!  We then played football with some of the sixth form.  We learnt some key skills and then finished with a penalty shoot out!  The afternoon was spent writing thank you letters to Sedgehill and helping out with the infants.

   

  

• Wednesday update from school journey

  Wed 23 Sep 2015 Karen Cartwright

  Today the explorers set off on their long journey to Corfe castle.  Luckily the weather was sunny and warm so everyone enjoyed the walk.  They were very excited to be getting a steam train back to the centre! The teachers reported that everyone is eating brilliantly, even those who thought they were fussy before they went!  They are also all being excellent sleepers and the majority were fast asleep by 10 o'clock last night, allowing everyone time to get the sleep they needed!  They are looking forward to another session in the pool before dinner and then an ABC quiz challenge in the playground this evening.  

  Home journey again was also exciting; the group enjoyed a trip to the science museum to watch a film in 3D at the IMAX cinema as well as free time in the Launchpad.   

  More exciting adventures to follow tomorrow!

  

• Tuesday's school and home journey news!

  Tue 22 Sep 2015 Karen Cartwright

  After a good night's sleep our adventurers arose bright an early for another action packed day.  Today it was time for a cliff walk to Studland and a visit to the beach.  Thankfully the weather in Swanage was considerably better than the weather in Bellingham!  Everyone has enjoyed paddling in the sea, many ice creams have been eaten and many children half buried in the sand!  They are looking forward to a tasty meal and a running around activity on site this evening before getting some well earned sleep!

  Home journey has also been exciting today.  The children have created 3d sculptures using a variety of materials and are enjoying showing them off!
