We visited the lifeboat station and learnt about the two different rescue boats. We also got to try on some of the uniform that the crew wear. We then went to Wildersmouth Beach where we explored the rock pool habitats for sea creatures and looked at the limpets and barnacles on the rocks. 

Kingfishers enjoyed a trip to The Holy Trinity Church as part of their RE topic on sacred places. The vicar showed them some of the main features of the church and discussed the importance of this building to Christians.

Kingfishers had a fantastic day exploring inside and outside of Dunster Castle. They learnt what life was like many years ago and how to defend the castle from the enemy. The children then spent the afternoon exploring the beautiful gardens and we even found a woodland play area to have run some fun and run!

To engage the children into our new topic of 'Dragons, Knights and Castles' each child took part in Knight school where they had to complete 5 challenges. The challenges included painting a castle, making a knight in shining armour, making a shield, building watchtowers and protecting their castle from the enemy. 

​The children had a fantastic morning at Bicclescombe Park. They explored the gardens, sketched things they saw and enjoyed playing in the play area.

​The children enjoyed learning about different environments around the world. They looked at the rainforest, desert and polar regions and the animals that live there. The children sang songs and started to learn about the different continents that make up Our Wonderful World. After learning about the different habitats, they created their own for an animal of their choice.

​Kingfishers had a brilliant time taking part in the Lego Robotics workshop. They followed instructions to complete a Lego structure, which they then connected to a motor and battery before using a computer to program the Lego model to move, change colour and write messages. They all had an amazing time!
