Science Camp for St Helen's & St Joachim's Year 6

Together with the Year 6 pupils from St Helen’s and St Joachim's attended their annual Science Camp at Kingsdown in Kent. The children spent the week completing a range of science lessons which involved investigating habitats, learning about coastal erosion and beach combing. They also took on some traditional camping activities such as orienteering, Forest School, and archery. The children also had the opportunity to venture out on fact finding walks to places like Deal and take part in some sea swimming. Children also walked the coastal path along the white cliffs to St Margaret's at See, the nearest point of England to France. On our final full day we took part in a prayer service to reflect on the whole week and the reasons behind it. Before returning to school the children visited Howletts Wildlife Park where they further developed their understanding of animals and their habitats. The children enjoyed the camp for the science but also for the new friendships they formed with pupils from each school.
