14th - 16th March
We had our DARE graduation on Monday.
This was a super occasion with the Mayor of Gedling as well as lots of parents and relatives present. We gave a presentation about the DARE course we have been following. This included role-plays and reading some of our DARE reports which described what we had learned and the effect this has had on us. There were two songs, One more step and our schools own DARE song called DARE to say NO! and everyone received their graduation certificates from our DARE teacher and the mayor.
Also on Monday we watched the Year 3 and 4 concert which was very enjoyable.
On Monday and Tuesday we did some maths, focusing on harder written subtraction problems and we spent most of the rest of Tuesday preparing for our TIMETRAVELLING pilgrimage to Southwell Minster which we went on today.
We spent the whole day at Southwell. We travelled by bus, arriving at about 9.50 am, and after processing into the minster will classes from many other schools, we joined in a short welcome service before participating in lots of different activities (four before and three after lunch). The varied activities helped us learn more about the minster, the things that happen there day by day and the pilgrimages that people have made to the minster over the last 900 years.
