Outdoor Adventure at St. John Vianney – A Year 6 Journalist’s Report

In Year 6, we have completed the last part of the ‘Canvas Classroom’. We have been preparing with adventures at St. John Vianney School over the years. In Year 1 we had a ‘sleep-over’ in school, getting up really early to watch the sunrise. In Year 2, we had to whittle our own spoon and make a pottery dish. In Year 3 we had lessons for the day in a big tent on the field, in the middle of winter and with no handy toilets…yuk! In Year 4 we learnt to build shelters and tried to cook meals outdoors. Then, in Year 5 we camped out in the middle of nowhere, under our own shelters and making our own supper and breakfast. At least that was in the Summer!
