Year 4- Badgers Class

Hello from Badgers class. Teacher: Miss Want
Term 6:
We have just returned from a fantastic 2 night residential at Hill End. We slept in bell tents which was great fun. We took part in lots of amazing activities which included night walk, orienteering, campfire toasting marshmallows making lovely smores, challenge activities where we worked as a team, den building, fire lighting, rolling down hills, pond dipping and exploring habitats. Although the weather was very wet the children and staff had a great time making memories and undertaking new and challenging activities.
