Why Do We Take Our Children Skiing?
I am an African. Born and bred in the mining heartland of South Africa. In the first 30 years of my life I never even saw snow, let alone considered skiing. So how did I go from that, to being passionate about taking children skiing? In March of this year, 30 children from Edenhurst and…

Activity Week 2022
Reception’s Trip to Amerton farm Reception had a wonderful day out at Amerton Farm. When we arrived we were all given a bottle of milk to feed the baby lambs with…they were all very strong and thirsty! After that we fed the chickens and the goats on our walk around the farm. Cody told us…

A Busy But Fun Week
Beauty and the Beast For our annual whole school theatre trip, we watched Beauty and the Beast at the New Vic. Except this year it felt extra special as we didn’t get to go last year. The journey there was loud as the children’s excitement filled the bus. Once we arrived, their faces were gleaming…
