Life at Kingsthorne has continued to be very busy this month. Last week, our youngest children in Nursery went on a bug hunt around their outdoor area.
As well as finding ants, earwigs, worms and snails there was the opportunity for mark making and vocabulary development. The children also made a bed for ten in a bed which allowed for physical development and collaborative discussions.
Year 6, travelled further afield on their visit to the Heights of Abraham in Derbyshire. To go, the children had to be at school very early and didn’t get back until after half past 4!
Whilst they were there, they had the chance to explore the caves and discovered how the landscape is now used to support tourism after being mined for many years.
The children had the chance to take a ride on the cable car and experience the amazing view – a first for most of them. The visit was linked to their learning about mountains around the world.
They have been researching Mount Everest and the hostile climate there – even colder than Kingstanding in winter.
