Bringing a Favourite Story to Life
Year 1 and Year 2 pupils from Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Catholic Academy in Billingham recently enjoyed a fantastic Active Literacy Trail at Wynyard Woodland Park.
The whole day was themed around the popular story The Smeds and the Smoos, giving children the opportunity to bring the book to life through a series of exciting outdoor activities and challenges.
Helping Baby Smoo-Smed Find His Way Home
Throughout the trail, the children worked together to complete a variety of challenges designed to help the little baby Smoo-Smed return to his family rocket.
The activities encouraged teamwork, problem-solving and communication skills, while also helping to develop a love of reading and storytelling in a fun and engaging environment.
Outstanding Effort and Excellent Behaviour
The pupils approached every challenge with enthusiasm and determination, working exceptionally hard throughout the day.
Staff were incredibly proud of the way the children represented the academy, demonstrating excellent behaviour, positive attitudes and a willingness to support one another.
A Wonderful Day of Learning and Adventure
The Active Literacy Trail provided a fantastic opportunity to combine literacy, outdoor learning and physical activity in a memorable setting.
It was a wonderful day filled with fun, exploration and creativity, and one that the children are sure to remember for a long time to come. Well done to all of our Year 1 and Year 2 pupils for making the day such a success!
