Class 3

This fine specimen was found during our conservation work on the beach.

Today we have been rock climbing and carrying out some conservation work on the beach. This evening we will be doing a photosearch activity around the centre and prepare to leave tomorrow (cleaning and packing).

Even at Arthog we have marked World Book Day by dressing as characters from books.

We have had a very wet day today gorge walking and investigating an old slate mine. It was great fun, as you will be able to see from the pictures. Roast dinner for tea followed by chocolate cake – happy days!!!!!

Today we all spent the day on a long walk stopping to solve problems and read clues to direct us on our way.

One of the challenges on our travels was to take part in a canoeing activity.  During this task Mr Tinker found himself in the water along with his fellow paddler Jacob Jones.  There are no photos of this event as Mr Tinker’s camera/phone is now drying on a radiator in the hope that it will work again!!!!!

After tea we went orienteering in the dark!!! A couple of fun hours befotre retiring to bed at 9:30 for lights out at 10pm.

We arrived at approximately 11:40.  After we we were shown around the centre we had lunch and were then ‘kitted out’ with waterproofs, rucksack and helmets.

This afernoon we have been team building and problem solving in our groups.  Orienteering later!!!

Today we began our PE sessions with Ian Fearnley, from Idsall School, who is a Karate instructor.

We learned many self defence moves (kata) and also began to learn to count to ten in Japanese.  All very impressive for our first lesson.

Today we have had a transition day in Class 3 and have had our Year 3 children with us all day.

This morning we looked at what the school’s ASPIRE mission staement meant and then also came up with a bank of words that would fit ASPIRE if it was our wn individual mission statement. With this bank of words we used WORDLE.com to create word clouds.
