Thorngrove pupils visit Bedales
Commenting on the day, Keith Budge, Headmaster, Bedales Schools said: "Learning through doing is a big part of the Bedales education and we were very pleased to run Outdoor Work activities for the Thorngrove pupils. It was a great opportunity to share our overall approach to learning."
Also, earlier in the term, over 30 children from Steep, Sheet and Buriton primary schools and Oakwood, Thomas' (Fulham) and The Academy prep schools, visited Dunhurst, Bedales Junior School, for a 'Science, History and The Big Outdoors' event.
The theme was 'survival' and the children worked on ideas for how to survive using shelter, water and fire. Designing shelters, solar panels, learning how to make a fire and how to purify water were just a few of the activities the children took part in.
Danielle Brown, Headteacher of Buriton School said: "Thank you for organising such an awesome day for our children - they loved every second of it!
