Y5 GEOGRAPHY FIELD TRIP
Mon 17 Jul 2023Year 5 had a wonderful day at the Severn Valley Country Park. We walked the length of a tributary to the River Severn, all the way from its source to its mouth. After lunch and some free play, we then did some pond dipping and took 3 cross sections of the stream. It was muddy wet fun learning!

Year 4 Visit Kidderminster Carpet Museum
Thu 06 Jul 2023The Year 4 visit to the Kidderminster Carpet museum was an incredible success. The children heard about the lives of children their own ages two hundred years ago. The change in flooring from dirt floors to carpet, and the important role Kidderminster in the process was fascinating. Kidderminster was the capital of the world for carpets! Stourport-on-Severn played an important part with its canal connections to the River Severn. The process from wool to carpet has many stages: shearing the sheep, washing and cleaning the wool, carding, spinning and then dying the wool. The first looms were used at home in the attics of people’s houses. Gradually large ‘sheds’ with hundreds of large looms appeared and the town began to make its presence known in the world. The special minerals in the River Stour enabled the dying process to produce vivid, bright colours. Sometimes the water in the river ran with a variety of different shades, depending on what type of colour was being used to dye the yarn.

Year 1 & 2 Trip to Bodenham Arboretum
Tue 04 Jul 2023Year 1 and 2 had an absolutely amazing time visiting Bodenham Arboretum on Thursday 29th June. We walked around looking at (and hugging) a few of their 10,000 trees then had the best time in their Forest School area. We talked about seasons, types of tree, shapes of trees and why they are important to our environment.
The children were utterly immersed in activities such as fire striking, toasting bread, face painting, leaf rubbings, bug hunting and identification, crafts, mud kitchen and shelter making to name but a few! They were a joy to observe!
The best part for us was to hear a tremendous amount of praise for the behaviour, engagement and enjoyment from all our children from the trip leaders at Bodenham. We are incredibly proud of them all.
