What a fantastic Adventure Island trip we have had! 26, KS1 children have worked so hard across the year to earn their three, gold merit badges to take part in the Adventure Island trip.
Our day started off with a fun-filled train trip and then a swift walk down to Adventure Island to get on the rides as quickly as possible. We felt very lucky with the weather, as the weekend was a bit of a washout. The sun was still shining so we made sure to enjoy the water slides! We managed to go on lots of the rides in the park. We enjoyed a delicious chicken nugget and chip meal for lunch, which went down a treat.
Thank you Miss Geary for organising this trip and for showing the children the recognition that they deserve. We were so lucky today and the smiles of the children said it all. I know there will be many children next year who will work extra hard to have over 98% attendance and to earn lots of house points, so that they can enjoy the Adventure Island trip.
Year 2 Trip to Colchester Zoo
On Friday 23rd June, Year 2 enjoyed a trip to Colchester Zoo. Our topic this half term in Year 2, is all about living things and their habitats, therefore, we thought it would be a great idea to visit the zoo!
We left school around 9am and made our way to Colchester Zoo by coach. We were so excited the whole way – we had a competition to see who could spot the zoo sign first!
By 10.15am, we had arrived at the zoo. We started the day with an educational talk about habitats, which was very interesting. At 12pm we found a picnic area to have our lunch. After lunch, we made our way around the zoo. We saw lions, zebras, elephants, sea lions, penguins, goats, pigs, fish, meerkats and many more amazing animals!
After a busy day, we boarded the coach at 3pm to head back to school. The children were so tired from their fun-filled day – some even fell asleep on the coach back! The children were well behaved throughout the trip and represented Phoenix amazingly.
Well done Year 2!
