Fully prepared with waterproof coats and picnics, we set off for our day out. First of all, we walked through the woods looking for signs of spring. Mr Parry gave us some clues and explained how trees and plants change during the different seasons. We saw squirrels and lots of different birds too.
We were also learning about different types of houses in Anston. We walked to the Green and the Wells, where we heard about how Anston has changed over the years and how it is continuing to grow now.
The next part of our journey took us to Anston Brook, where we had some fun playing pooh sticks on the bridge. Finally, it was time to have a rest and eat our lunch, but not before we had played some games and enjoyed the facilities at Anston Parish Park.
After lunch, we set off on our final mission to visit South Anston Methodist Church. We learnt about how they are preparing for Easter. The highlight however, had to be entertaining some local residents at their weekly Friendship Group. We sang songs, told rhymes and played ‘Hot Cross Buns‘ on the handbells. We saw lots of happy faces and they definitely seemed to enjoy receiving the bookmarks that we had made for them. We arrived back at school tired but having learnt so much. It was an amazing day!
