Year 5 & 6 Skern Lodge Residential

Children in Year 5 & 6 are having a fantastic time at Skern Lodge. They have been taking part in loads of different activities to encourage team building and increase their confidence.

Outdoor Play and Learning

We are continuing to develop our play provision and grounds. Before half term, we arranged for some of the smaller trees and branches to be trimmed so we could use the materials to create a village of small structures and we are hoping these will be started soon.

The new sheds have been installed and look very smart. They provide excellent storage facilities for the loose parts we are collecting to support open ended play. We have invested in waterproof trousers, jackets and some wellies so as many of the children as possible to be able to access all of the site and play in all weathers.

We were kindly donated more tyres from BT Autos in Winkleigh and these have already had a lot of use to create social spaces and areas. Next we will be adding some planks and tarpaulins to open up the use of these even further. As spring starts to lighten the days, we are excited about the opportunities ahead for learning, development and quality play.

Children in Otters took part in water sports at Meeth Reservoir.
