A message from Great Ouseburn Community Primary School regarding their day out to the Yorkshire Arboretum:
Our year 3/4 class thoroughly enjoyed our day out to the Yorkshire Arboretum. Despite the soggy weather, the children loved the explorienteering around the grounds of the arboretum. They started off learning basic map skills and how to navigate themselves around a course of cones. We then went out into the grounds of the arboretum and were challenged to follow many different orienteering courses. It was a lot of fun! In the afternoon, we enjoyed some super outdoor art. After gaining some inspiration from different artists, who do similar natural sculptures, the children had a go at making their own. Overall, it was a fantastic day. The activities, facilities and organisation were all excellent. The staff were very accommodating considering we had such miserable weather and couldn’t do enough to help! Thank you very much for a great day!
