Hi from Stubbington!!!
Hello blog readers!
Year 6 are having an amazing time here in Stubbington!
We have been extremely busy enjoying our huge range of daily activities and challenges, we thought we had better pause to update you on all the experiences we have had so far (and dry off)….
Monday was a pretty wet and muddy day, however, we all had the right wet weather gear so that did not stop us being outside for most of the day.
After the Stubbington induction and tour, the Penguins carried out a pond dipping activity, where they collected all sorts of pond life to take back to the classroom to study, sort and write about. Meanwhile, the Seals learnt about the different ways birds have adapted to environments and built shelters from natural materials found within the Stubbington grounds. The children entered their shelters, which were then tested against wind, predators, sunlight and lastly, a rainstorm (big bucket of water). We then all dried off and enjoyed one of our fabulous evening meals.
Yesterday was an even wetter day. The Seals dressed up as Celts and painted their faces to get in role, while making pottery, jewellery and recreating life as a Celt. The Penguins had the ever popular ‘Earthquake’ activity and got wet through with the persistent rain. The children collaborate together helping to carry pieces of important lifesaving equipment around an obstacle course making sure they don’t fall in the ‘lava’ surrounding them. I will let the children explain more on their arrival home – plus the Seals will be carrying out this activity today the so I don’t want to ruin the surprise.
While I am typing this, the Seals are getting set up for earthquake while the Penguins are studying birds and carrying out their shelter building. Tomorrow we will all be making mammal hotels and placing them around the grounds to try to entice wildlife to stay overnight ready for us to study on Friday.
Everyone is eating incredibly well, the choice of food is amazing, from breakfast, lunch time, dinner, right through to supper after our evening classroom study time.
Tonight we are looking forward to ‘Stubbington scramble’ and much more fun and excitement for the remaining days.
The children have all settled well and slept soundly after very energetic outdoor activities and evening entertainment. By the end of the day, we are all worn out, ready for a shower and bed, eager to wake up refreshed for the next days learning and fun!
We know the children will have lots to share when they return home and we will update you all on the blog with pictures at a later date.
The children all say hello and want you all to know how much they are enjoying themselves.
We will update you with photos when we can and will see you soon!
From Year 6!
