Crick Primary School

* The children made their own dips and elderflower cordial for parents and friends to try at a taster session.

* The children took the opportunity to survey and compare traffic in two parts of the village.

* Our site supervisor, Mr Richards, gave us a talk about safety and a tour of places around the school that we do not usually get to see.

* The children followed a village history trail, on the look out as 'Village Detectives' for evidence of names and changes in buildings.

* The class enjoyed their visit from PC Lorraine who discussed the importance of safety and then escorted them around a part of the village to continue their trail work.

* We were shown around St. Margaret's Church by Mrs Davis and we were on the look out for Christian signs and symbols.

* Julia came from Rugby School on work experience. She told us about life in Japan and we gave her our work from last term on the tsunami for her to take her to Tokyo.

* We held a Village Camp in the school field where children brought their play tents and equipment. We discussed how we care for our village and its amenities. We identified flowers and plant habitats, measured roots, made music, shared poetry and played games from long ago.

* We were warmly greeted during our visit to Sulgrave Manor where we learned abou the house, gardens, clothes, food and pastimes of life around 1688.

Thank you to all the children in Orange Class, the parents friends and staff who have all worked so hard to make this term's work, 'Summer Special', such a successful and enjoyable learning experience.
