We'd like to say a great big THANK YOU to you all at Bowood for a wonderful day. Our Year 2 children, staff and parents really enjoyed touring the grounds and sketching the landscape. It was great for us as teachers too, that much of the tour included learning about plants and habitats, as well as a focus on Lancelot 'Capability' Brown; this really enhanced the children's learning.
King's Lodge School
I want to say what a fantastic time we all had, the children haven’t stopped talking about the visit and this has also led to some lovely pieces of writing today. Please would you thank Jane for looking after us to very well on the mini-beast workshop. Once again, myself and the team cannot thank you enough for a wonderful day. We really appreciated having a base to leave all of our belongings too. This made it much easier to eat lunch comfortably.
Nythe Primary School
Thank you for all your help regarding our visit to Bowood today. All our year 6 children (and the adults) had a wonderful time and it was great to see some of the children overcoming their fears by tackling the space slide!
