Year 3 – Wild Night Out – June/July 2011
As part of our residential programme for KS2 children, year 3 participated in a ‘Wild Night Out’ experience. They joined children from across the Federation and travelled to Killerton House. They spent a busy night making camp, exploring the environment, badger watching and listening to camp fire stories. All the children had a brilliant time and for some it was their first night away from home.
