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!

Year 4’s Outdoor Adventure with West View Project

​​​​​​​In November, Year 4 pupils at St. John Vianney Catholic Primary School enjoyed an unforgettable day of outdoor learning with the amazing team from West View Project. The session was packed with hands-on activities designed to teach practical outdoor survival skills, including how to safely cook over an open fire.
