Curriculum Enhancement Week – Land and Sea Students on the Land and Sea pathway enjoyed three days exploring the natural beauty of our local area through a range of outdoor activities, art and creative writing. The week included visits to Great Yarmouth, Acle and Upton, where students explored the coastline, countryside and riverside, taking photographs, sketching landscapes and gathering inspiration from nature. They also enjoyed time on the beach, woodland walks and a visit to Acle Bridge. Back at school, students used their experiences to create artwork, write travel brochures, make nature-themed crafts and even design their own board games. The pathway was a fantastic opportunity to appreciate the environment on our doorstep while developing creativity and teamwork along the way. #acleacademy
