Focus Week 2005 - Environment Week

The theme for our Focus Week in 2005 was the Environment.

We visited Badminton Estate for the Countryside Day for Schools on June 8th. This was one of our activities leading to 'Environment Week' from June 27th to July 1st. After the visit, the children were asked to write about their day. The entries from Class 3 were among the prize-winners and we were invited to the Beaufort Polo Club at Westonbirt for the prize-giving ceremony.
