Wilderness Centre

In the Autumn Term, Year 4 pupils, teachers and teaching assistants embarked on a residential trip to the Wilderness Centre at Mitcheldean in the Forest of Dean.  All activities during the day were science-based such as pond dipping and soil sampling, and in the evening the children participated in outdoor and adventurous activities such as the low rope course or rock climbing.  All who went thoroughly enjoyed their stay as you can see from the photographs and children's comments below.

                "The route we took was extremely muddy but we made our way through it.  On our walk we had

                                                          great fun walking in the stream."
