Today our group had lots of fun doing different challenges in teams that included ‘Bear Pong’ 🏓 a scavenger hunt 👀🐤 and Pudsey’s 25 question quiz 🤔

We’ve also enjoyed following BBC Radio 2 presenter Sara Cox throughout the week, watching her marathon challenge and making a donation to BBC Children in Need 🏃‍♀️

Lest We Forget 🌺

This morning on Armistice Day, Tuesday 11th November we observed a two minute silence at 11am 🕚

We all took a moment to pause, remember and honour those who have been affected by war, both past and present 🪖

Our group looked at how paleontogists excavate fossils 🪏and how what they find can lead to the creation of amazing museum exhibitions 🏢

They also made their own dinosaur fossils which turned out totally ROAAARsome! 🦴🦖
