ELC and P1-4 School Trip Torrisdale Castle Estate
25 June 2026
What a fantastic day the ELC-P4 children had at Woodland School at Torrisdale Estate. Led by Ranger Steve, they got to find out about the different deer and see antlers, play and explore the Woodland school site, toast marshmallows and make a diorama of the Woodland School site. All of the children loved their day, asking and answering lots of Ranger Steve’s questions. They all of course loved the buggy ride from the dome down to the site!
A huge thank you to Ranger Steve and the staff at Torrisdale Estate for having us today.

‘People who Help us
24 June 2026
As part of the ELCs learning on ‘People who Help us’, we were delighted when some of our parents came into the ELC and spoke about their jobs. The children learned about being an optician and got to try lots of glasses on, a radiographer and got to see some X-rays, a vet where they got to meet the vets dog and see some animal teeth and a nurse, where they got to listen to each others hearts.
The children loved having the parents in sharing what they do and showing us lots of equipment that they use.
We would like to thank Lindsey, Lorna, Stacy and Sylvia for giving up their time to visit the ELC and sharing what they do in their jobs.
