Where Our Wellies Took Us!

Last week, we began a new English topic based on, 'Where My Wellies Take Me...' by Clare and Michael Morpurgo.

The story book began as a collection of poems about the countryside, loosely based on Clare's childhood walks in and around the village of Iddesleigh. The story of a walk, taken by the character Pippa and written by Michael Morpurgo, links the poems together. Illustrations by Olivia Lomenech Gill help bring the story to life.

We went for our own local walk on Friday, up to the top of Cosdon Beacon, with a Dartmoor Ranger. On the way we looked at the countryside around us, learning about trees, animals and the formation of the beacon itself. Here are some photographs from our day:
