Field trips: Don't lick the trees

Outdoor learning NQTs
What world-wise lessons has our NQT diarist learnt after her first ever school field trip? Steer clear of licking those trees...

Fellow NQTs, congratulations; the first half-term is behind us!

For most, the final week of the first half-term was probably a tiring one; one of those weeks that seems to last forever, like the never-ending moment spent waiting for sleep on Christmas Eve (yes, I am thinking about Christmas already!).

My final week happened to be spent on a school trip in Wales.

The trip was part of the transition work for our year 7s, geared towards bonding the pupils – while developing resilience and teamwork skills to prepare them for the challenges of secondary school – through out-of -doors activities designed to push them out of their comfort zone.
