• Thursday 21 November 2024 Maple trip to Compton Verney We had an amazing day at Compton Verney and we were so lucky with the weather! Linda took us on a journey through the woods to our Stone Age camp where we made wattle and daub fences by weaving willow, made stone age bread by grinding barley with rocks and mixing with oats and water, built shelters, explored a cave or artefacts and lit our own fires with flint and steel (not quite as the Stone Age people would have done it with flint and flint!). We had a great day getting a taste of what life would have been like all those thousands of years ago.
• Tuesday 5 November 2024 Mysteries of the Musiverse Maple thoroughly enjoyed their music workshop this afternoon with Nick and Abbie from Cheltenham Festivals. We learned all about how saxophones are played and the differences between Nick's tenor saxophone and Abbie's soprano saxophone.
• Thursday 17 October 2024 Maple Life Ed We had a great Life Education session with Tom. He taught us all about what’s inside our bodies and what we need to stay alive (water, oxygen, sleep, food and exercise). We then thought about the things that we needed to stay happy and healthy and the importance of time to connect with others. We met Harold the giraffe and went with him on a screen free day with his friends to the theme park. At the theme park, we blasted off on a rocket to space where we met a strange race of aliens where all of them were exactly the same. We decided that life is much better when everyone is unique and when we celebrate our differences!
