Academy News 7 Camp news Yr 5 Source to Sea Year 5, Source to Sea had a very hot start to it! Walking on Bodmin Moor was a very hot affair, but once we stopped for lunch we were able to see the amazing views. We walked to the source of the River Fowey where we stopped for lunch and enjoyed our lovely sandwiches. We were also lucky enough to have a talk from a man about Stone Circles, this was great! Day 2 bought with it the possibility of rain but luckily it held of for us! Canoeing was great fun and the children were fantastic! Canoeing was definitely a brilliant experience and ALL of our children behaved brilliantly! We got back to school on Friday with some very tired children but everyone had had a lovely school camp!
