The Applecroft Adventure
The Applecroft Adventure:
The Applecroft Adventure was introduced in September 2019 having been created by all staff and children during the 2018-2019 academic year. The Learning Council worked with their individual classes to identify the life experiences that we believe ALL children should have the opportunity to take part in. Each member of the Learning Council brought their class's list and work began to identify a whole school 'adventure'.
From September 2019, the activities listed will be incorporated into the children's curriculum map for their relevant year group.
