Year 6 at the Clumps
For year 6 topic Through The Door we went to Wittenham Clumps with Ms Grimes to build shelters and make a fire.We started off by getting twigs for the fire. We then watched Ms Grimes make and light it. It was BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got into groups and started discussing our ideas and collecting our materials.We used lots of different techniques including the slashing method where you wrap string around sticks and make them secure. Once we had finished our shelters we roasted marshmallows and drank hot chocolate in our dens. Here are some of the photosof some finished dens and treats that we had:

Chinese Summer School 2010 @ Frensham Heights
A group of us Year 5s (now Year 6s!) were lucky enough to be picked to go to a Chinese Summer School for a week during the summer holidays. Only 50 children across the UK were chosen to go and Ladygrove were lucky enough to send 9 children to Frensham Heights thanks to the British Council and HSBC funding. Frensham Heights is a posh girls boarding school in Surrey with loads of amazing facilities like a swimming pool, tennis courts, massive grounds, a performance theatre, a gym which we got to use.
Every morning we woke up early to have a massive breakfast before we started our morning exercise all together in the ballroom. Then we did our language lessons with specialised Chinese teachers. We learnt things like greetings, numbers, pets, food, colours and lots more through songs, games, conversations and repetition. It was enjoyable and not too tiring although sometimes it was hard to get up in the mornings!
At the end of the week we got to show off our Chinese language skills in a performance to our parents and families in the fabulous school theatre.
