Two contrasting moments...

 Year 7 ventured down to the Fishpond stream at Turn Mill to splash about and cool off on a particularly sweltering Thursday afternoon.

One of the class found a novel way to keep in the shade by utilising a Gunnera leaf as a hat.

 

When the class eventually made their way down to the stream, two ladies were sat on the bank.

They spoke about their reason for being there and that they had created a small memorial in the roots of a tree overhanging the stream.

They asked the boys to be mindful of this area and after a few searching questions about its meaning, the class continued on whilst being very respectful of its presence.

It is still there, untouched, weeks later.
