HEVER FLOOR

We have had a fun and busy few weeks on Hever floor! We have been very lucky with the weather, so we have managed to get outside a lot.

We have enjoyed several trips to the beach where the pupils have had fun looking in rock pools for shells and treasure! The Hever residents particularly like picnics, so this is a must on our trips to the beach. Whilst eating the picnic we found we needed to keep a big eye out for the hungry seagulls who followed us with beady eyes and greedy tummies!

Our pupils discovered a new passion this term, which was metal detecting. We took the metal detector to the beach and also to the local park, finding lots of bottle caps and a silver chain. Pupils realised that using the metal detector required a lot of patience, time and teamwork.

We visited a nearby forest, which is mainly made up of pine and other interesting trees. The pupils ventured off together to see what they could find - they discovered large holes which they believed were made by foxes. Suddenly, the pupils sounded very excited, and they couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw what they thought was a grass snake! We found a huge pile of logs that the pupils enjoyed climbing on to see if they could reach the top.

With our talented bakers on the floor, the pupils all made banoffee pie. They particularly enjoyed licking the spoons just to check it tasted to their liking!

One warm summer evening, Hever residents joined the other floors to play stoolball, - a game they had never tried before, and although reluctant at first, they really got involved in the game and are looking forward to playing it again soon.

The pupils have also continued with their own off-site clubs, including Cubs, Basketball and Football. One even invited a friend from his local cub group to join us for dinner. All the pupils did a fantastic job at making him feel welcome.  

We have finished the year with an end-of-year trip, sports day and celebration assembly! It's been a great term, and we wish you all a lovely summer break and are excited to see what September brings.
