Hearing the sound of children’s voices throughout the school this week really gave us a lift. We welcomed back a group of 36 children to our summer camp on Monday morning. They have been amazing us every day with their hand washing and sanitising skills. The children have been demonstrating their knowledge of how to keep themselves and others safe while working separately in their small groups.It is obvious Parents & Families have been working hard at home for the past few months to ensure the children are familiar with the ways we can try our best to keep each other safe. Summer Camp looked a different to camps from other years but the levels of fun and happiness were just as high!
In the Junior Group we had such a brilliant week led by Ms.Marren. We were super at looking out for one another and washing our hands!Teacher wore her face mask whenever she could not social distance and we got very used to this after the first morning! We all did our very best to keep everybody safe.
Some of our favourite activities included;
Making our own lunches in the kitchen: This was such a great learning experience. Making choices about what we would like to eat, choosing our food, buttering our chosen bread and putting on our fillings. We even made our own rice krispie treats! We felt very independent .
Art and Crafts: This was another of our favourite activities. We did lots of different types of art, as you will see in our video. Painting, colour mixing, drawing, decorating, colouring and working with fabric and fibre. We were all so creative in our own ways.
Outdoor activities: We also loved getting outside and being active. We loved the running and throwing games. We worked on skills like balance, speed and coordination.
What a brilliant week – well done to the boys and girls.
Have a look at our video to see more examples of our wonderful fun!
Middle Group + Ms. Browne: Our week in Summer Camp was all about FUN,FUN & FUN! It was so lovely to be back in school and to see our friends and some of our Teachers too.
We had a busy week with plenty of Arts & Crafts activities, stories, outdoor games as well as Music, Dancing and even decorating our own cupcakes! We went on a Nature Walk and found some conkers by the pitch as well as listening outdoors for the many sounds around us.
Wayne O’Connor, the Storyteller came to visit on our last day of Camp and he was fantastic. He told us the story of mythical people a long time ago and he was really funny. We were so excited listening to him and watching him.
On Friday we had an ice-cream party and we really loved it. We even had yummy toppings to create our own ice creams- yummy, yummy in my tummy!
We sanitised our hands everytime we went into school and when we were leaving the school. We washed our hands throughout the day – before we ate and after we ate, whenever we sneezed or coughed and we all coughed into our elbows. Ms Browne could not believe how wonderful we were at following the guidelines about sneezing and coughing and she had her ‘proud Momm’ face’ on every day at Camp because we were so good at looking after one another!
Here are some photos of our fantastic week !

We had a great time at Camp this week and we spent a lot of time outdoors – playing basketball, running through obstacle courses as well as doing our exercises with music. We really enjoyed making our own lunches with help from Ms. Grimes as well as baking our Fairy Cakes in the kitchen. Decorating them was a messy job but so much fun!!!The fairy cakes were delicious.
We did lovely art and craft activities – making our own window decorations for home as well as doing music and board games in our room.
We followed social distancing guidelines and are really ready for and excited about getting back to school next Thursday – we know when to sanitise our hands and washed our hands regularly throughout the day at summer camp.
Summer Camp 2020 was the best fun!!!!!
