🌿 Another fabulous day for our Year 5 adventurers in Shropshire! 🌿
These outdoor experiences are sparking so much curiosity — today’s conversations ranged from why number plates are plastic in Europe but not in America, to bird migration routes, and frog care to name a few! 😂
The rain didn’t stop play! ☔ From buggy building (and learning to tie knots!) to exploring an Elizabethan manor, testing memory games, flying down the zip wire, trying fencing, and even learning circus skills 🎪 … the children embraced it all.
And to finish the day? Some Olympic-style evening games 🏅. What a line-up of fun, teamwork and adventure!

Year 5 showed more curiosity this evening by asking "What’s that dot in the sky?"
Mr Jeens, always prepared, opened up his night sky app to check and we discovered it to be Saturn 🪐
This then led to a great discussion about the order of the planets and today’s fun fact, Saturn is an average distance of 886,000,000 miles from earth, yet visible from Shropshire!
✨ Year 5 have kicked off their residential trip with an unforgettable first day! ✨
Leaving school bright and early, they set off for Warwick Castle where history came alive — complete with an incredible bird of prey display 🦅.
From there, it was on to Condover Hall in Shropshire. The children arrived safely (and still buzzing with excitement!) ready for action-packed activities before dinner… and what better way to finish the day than with a silent disco? 🎧
A brilliant start to the week with our fabulous BPS children — in a day full of fun, learning, and adventure, they say had something for everyone which embodied our Free to be Me ethos 💜
