Animal Farm Nursery Trip


As part of the Nursery topic about animals, today Nursery visited the Animal Farm Adventure Park between Burnham-on-Sea and Weston-Super-Mare.

It was very exciting because it was the first time that some of the children had been on a very big coach!

At the farm, children had a chance to feed, touch and hold lots of different sorts of animals, such as goats, cows, sheep, rabbits, guinea pigs and turkeys!

Being an ‘adventure farm’, there were lots of slides and climbing frames to play on as well - great fun! Mrs. Clarke even had the chance to eat lots of food! Mr. Willis would probably have been jealous...

Year 3 and 4 ‘Brunel Day’


Today, children from Year 3 and 4 visited the nearby Clifton Suspension Bridge before traveling down into the city to walk around the SS Great Britain as part of their ‘Brunel Day’.

As part of their learning about Bristol during the Victorian period of History, Year 3 and 4 have been focussing on Brunel, a famous Victorian engineer who was responsible for designing and building both the suspension bridge and the SS Great Britain.

The day started with an early morning walk across the Clifton Suspension Bridge, where everyone marveled at the views of Bristol. Later on, everyone visited the SS Great Britain, an iron steam ship that is now a museum in the harbour in Bristol.

Photographs of the school trip can be found on our gallery page here.
