After the fun of the pyjama disco last night, we were all quite sleepy when the teachers woke us up this morning! But we had a lot to do and had to packed up and tidy our dorms before our first activity.
We went down to the ponds to do some pond dipping. It was lots of fun to find out what insects and fish live in the pond. One group even found a dragonfly nymph. They live in the pond for the first few years of their life and then crawl out and turn into a beautiful dragonfly! We also found a water scorpion which has pincers like a scorpion and a tube from it’s tail that allows it to breathe when it is under the water.
As Sayers Croft was used in WWII, we got to see some real WWII artefacts and work out what they were. We saw some WWII shoes, a real gas mask, helmets and a lantern. We then enjoyed some time with our sketch paper to draw the artefacts and paint them with watercolours.
We enjoyed our final Sayers Croft lunch and have all agreed that we’re going to miss the food here!
And now we’re heading to the coach to come back to London. We’ve had a great week and made lots of fun memories, but we’re looking forward to seeing everyone back in Marylebone! See you soon!
The disco was sooooo crazy. The girls made a dance circle and showed off our best dances.
It was very fun and exciting. I loved the river walk and the gladiator.
This was a fun and intresting for us
The disco was the best, the best activity was the river walk for me. I loved Sayers Croft
When it was our final morning it was sad because Sayers Croft was fun and I wish we could stay even more. The disco was amazing everyone danced in joy. The afternoon came and we did sketching of things from the World War 2, finally we did pond dipping and me and my partner caught so many pond skaters but they all jumped out! Sayers Croft gave me so many memories that I will never forget.
