Year 4 Camp at Stowford Meadows
In May, Year 4 went to
Stowford Farm Meadows
for a camping trip. We all
had lots of fun and slept
well going to bed at 9.30pm
and woke all the teachers
up every early! Everyone
was really happy. Everyone
really enjoyed all of the fun
activities, especially the
petorama where there was
a singing dog! Year 4 really
want to go again.

Last Tuesday Year 4 went
on a trip to Stowford
Farm Meadows. First, we
unpacked our sleeping
bags and rollmats.
Secondly, we all had some
free play and we could play
rounders, football or cricket.
Next, 4EC went swimming
and played with the huge
floats and the balls. After
that, we played crazy golf. It
was really hard.
Then we went to the petorama. At the petorama, there
was a singing dog and a
ferret race. It was very, very
fun. At lunch time, we all
went back to the tents to
have a snack. After that,
some of 4EC went to the part
and we played on the swings
and the slides. At night, we
had dinner and I had jumbo
sausage and chips. Finally,
we went to bed.
In the last few weeks
lucky Year 4 got to go to
Bicclescombe Park. We went
there to become Junior Park
Rangers. The activities we
did were orienteering with
map reading, recycling,
trees, a mini-beast hunt,
birds, pond dipping and
then we did our
presentation. We were all
very lucky with the weather,
so we had a great time.
