Ashridge Trip – May 2024
Year 4 visited Ashridge in May to explore all things outdoors! We spent time plotting points on a map using our Maths co-ordinates knowledge before heading out to find the puzzle pieces.

The challenge was to find which two vegetables were missing – the children quickly identified these as ‘les oignons’ and ‘les petis pois’ and we added them to our shop.
