Lots of visitors enjoy walking around 3 lakes for exercise, fishing and the wildlife. Birds that live on water breed there including Grebes, ducks and swans. Two of the lakes are linked by a road to houses.  </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>We tend to get weather events with storms and gale force winds. The rainfall is horrendous and we get massive rainfall in a short period of time. Our school flooded 2-3 years ago and we had to shut the school for a whole week while the school dried out and had to be redecorated. We had a months rainfall in 3 hours.&nbsp;<br>We are also prone to intense heat weather events where it can be too hot to venture outside.  </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This is our Trim trail which is an activity centre within our school grounds. We use it when we get rewarded as a class e.g. star of the week, golden class time, at lunch times small groups are allowed on.<br>Just in front of it is our wildlife garden that invites bugs and birds to live and eat. The bees enjoy the pollinating plants. &nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>We spent some time looking at maps and pictures of Zimbabwe and we were surprised at what we found! We thought it would be more dusty and desert-like but there are actually lots of plants, especially in the cities- much more than we have in the built up areas near us. The buildings were much taller than we expected and the cities look really similar to those in our country, just a bit more sunny!&nbsp; It is quite built up and busy and we could see business people going to work: it looks very industrial and new. People seem to be doing similar jobs to those that we do in our country. We also think people in Zimbabwe like football like we do. There are lots of roads and cars and some of the houses look like ours too.<br>There are lots of beautiful, impressive looking hotels; we would like to stay in for our next residential!<br>We saw waterfalls that were amazing and lots of cool animals like elephants, lions, hippos and tapirs.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This is a picture of Coxley Woods near our school and we think it represents the nature in our area. Animals like hedgehogs, crayfish, ducks, squirrel, foxes and frogs live there. There are lots of different trees and birds too.  We also go there to do outdoor learning which is lots of fun. We do things like build dens, hunt for animals, plants and minibeasts, learn survival skills build dams and do science experiments in the stream. We also love to play games there like line of sight!</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>We explored the map and discovered that England is part of the European continent. It is an Island, bound in the North and West by the North Atlantic Ocean in the South by the English Channel and in the East by the North sea. Britain is not a land locked country because it has sea ports including the port of London, Liverpool.<br>Its big cities include, London, Birmingham, Manchester, West Yorkshire, Bristol, Liverpool, Merseyside, Leicester, Edinburgh and Glasgow. There are different modes of transport including airways, railways,&nbsp; motorways and waterways. Waterways in the country are mostly used for commercial activities. Most jobs include accountancy, business, charity, agriculture, voluntary work, creative art and design and many more. In Britain, most most homes are apartments, skyscrapers houses, caves, castle, cabins and chalets. The traditional dishes are based on meat, fish, potatoes, butter and eggs. Curry is the most popular dish. Leisure activities include fishing, cinema and sport.&nbsp; Most popular sports include football, rugby, cricket, tennis, squash, golf, horse racing, motor sport, darts boxing, athletics and chess. Pop music is the integral part of music culture although there are several other genres of music including Bhangra, Britpop, Hip hop, rockers, progressive rock etc.<br>&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In the school garden we plant different types of crops including maize and different types of vegetables under the two curriculum subjects namely Agriculture and Science. School gardens reconnect us with the natural world and the true source of our food and teach us valuable gardening and agriculture concepts and skills that integrate with several other subjects&nbsp; as well as several educational goals, including personal and social responsibility. Under Agricultural topics like Climate and Land use, we describe climate change, identify changes in agricultural activities as a result of climate change. Most importantly we implement strategies to mitigating climate changes in the school garden thus taking part in global effort to fight the common challenge.</div>]]></description>
