A Great Day Out

Year 2 had a fabulous day at Moat Mount Outdoor Centre in Mill Hill on Thursday 5th June. Luckily the weather was good. The day began with team building activities which ensured the children worked collaboratively to solve problems. After lunch there was a delightful nature walk followed by an exciting Adventure Course where the children climbed over walls, swung on ropes, crawled through gates, balanced on logs and jumped. The finale was a pillow fight. Finally happy, very muddy children went home. A great day was had by all - children and teachers.

Owls Come to School

Grimsdell children and staff enjoyed an entrancing hour when we were visited by the ‘Night Owls’. It was a fantastic experience for the whole school to see and learn more about these beautiful creatures. All the children watched in amazement as the owls flew around the hall, and with guidance from the trainers some children had the opportunity to hold the birds themselves.
