Kingswood Day 2

Another exciting and active day at Kingswood is coming to an end.

One of the favourite activities today was the leap of faith. All the children gave it a go, were incredibly brave and showed great support for their friends. Well done to everyone you made us very proud.

We have also enjoyed team games on the field, caving in an underground bunker and the Mission Maker task where children designed and played their own computer games. 

Another of the favourite activities today was the archery session, where children practiced their skills and had a friendly competition. During the competition everyone managed to improve their score and said how much they enjoyed using the bow and arrows. 

After dinner we were all very excited to build our own bottle rockets. Working in teams we made our rockets, took them outside to fill with water and watched them launch. The designs were so great several rockets disappeared over the building, one into the top of the tree and another was sturdy enough to protect the water balloon it was carrying. 

The children have also been enjoyed choosing items in the gift shop today. It is lovely to see them picking gifts for family and items to share with their friends. All the children are having a wonderful time, enjoying new activities and making us very proud.

We have arrived and have had a fantastic first day at Kingswood.

First we enjoyed a sunny picnic lunch on the beach followed by paddling in the sea, pebble sculptures, sandcastles and even a spot of sunbathing.  We didn’t want to leave.

Next we found our rooms, unpacked and made our beds. Some people made a bed for the first time. Everyone did a great job.

This evening we have played outside games on the field, some of us have been fencing, been go-Karting and have been den building. Unfortunately the den wasn’t quite water proof and people got wet!

After dinner it was time for Bingo. Miss Wake has never heard a bingo hall so buzzing with excitement. Then it was time for hot chocolate and bed.

We have all had an amazing fun filled first day and look forward to telling you about more of our adventures tomorrow.

Ronja – I enjoyed the go-karting and not bumping into anything.

Isabel  D – It was really fun when they poured water on us in the dens. It wasn’t that waterproof though.

Amy – I loved going to the beach most.

Charlotte – I liked the go-karting because it was like driving my own car.

Maeva – I am looking forward to staying up late and having fun with all my friends.

Isobel H – I liked jabbing someone in the chest in fencing!

M A – I liked dinner because it was funny and we were allowed outside.

Weather watching

Last week, in KS1, a member of the Met Office came to visit. He talked to us about the weather and then he spent time in each of the three classes helping the children to make a tornado in a bottle. Everyone enjoyed his visit.

Rocket seeds

Have have you heard about the space seeds project? We have and we are taking part! 

Hargreaves class have planted the seeds and are caring for them, whilst Horowitz class are visiting, once a week, to take measurements and collect the data.

We will update you when we have bigger plants and have found out the final results.

Ice Palace

In Hargreaves class we have been looking at the weather. Miss Wake wanted us to use interesting adjectives in our writing and so she brought in some ice cubes. We built ice palaces and then wrote about them. 

KD - The sparkling room smelt fresh  and the walls sparkled and shone.

RS - The ice is beautiful because it is glittering.

OH- The icy room feels sad and the melting ice is wet and cold.

IM- The ice is frosty and wet and beautiful.

OW- The ice will make you slip and it is scary.
