Year 2 completed their year with a special trip to Mapledurham after being invited to participate in the annual swan upping on the Thames by Mr David Barber, the Queen’s Royal Swan Marker. They enjoyed a picnic lunch and then were excited to see the skiffs arrive and to be able to meet Mr Barber and his team and hear about the swans and how to protect them. Mr Barber was impressed with their knowledge of pens, cobs and cygnets.
They received a special certificate from Buckingham Palace and presented Mr Barber and his team with a beautifully illustrated poetry book and some special pictures. What a super way to end the academic year!
