Before half term, Year 5 & 6 pupils travelled to France for a week.  It provided the children with the opportunity to immerse themselves in French culture and use their French language skills to navigate around towns and cities and (most importantly!) to order ice cream.

To tie in with their current topic, Year 4 visited Leeds Castle and journeyed back to Tudor times to learn more about Henry VIII.

Year 3 & 4 enjoyed their two day residential at Stubbers Adventure Centre and used all of the West Lodge Learning Powers during the visit (concentration, curiosity, resilience, co-operation, and self-improvement) during the week.

Congratulations to Year 3 and 4 for their fantastic production of Plastic Pirates.

Despite the wet weather, Year 6 thoroughly enjoyed their field trip in which they learnt about the journey of a river, floodplains (which they saw first hand!) and took part in a fascinating investigation into the permeability of rocks.
