Our Primary section was treated to a great day at the Antwerp Zoo on the last Monday of this school year. Thank you to all the parents who lent a helping hand.

Field trips are always so much fun and are a great way to bring excitement and adventure to learning. Milepost 2 recently visited the Botanical Gardens in Antwerp, where they discovered a whole variety of flora and fauna. The children closely observed, studied and sketched the many fish, plants and trees that they came across in the gardens, as well as enjoying a well-earned picnic before heading back to school.

The trip to the SMAK and STAM Museums in Ghent was a welcome escape from the classroom after the strict regulations of the past two years. Even the train trip was a valuable lesson in communication and created bonds between students that classroom teachers can only dream of achieving.

On the 25th April, Early Years and Year 1 paid a visit to Mikerf Farm. It was a fun, exciting day filled with joy and adventure! The children got the opportunity to see different farm animals. They were able to pet the lambs and kids and while doing so had the unique experience of seeing a newly born kid trying to stand on its feet for the first time!

At Da Vinci, you're never disappointed when you hear the two words "field trip". In this case, Y7 and Y8 were lucky enough to hear they were going to go on an adventure to discover the old cranes along the river Scheldt. Antwerp being the beautiful city it is, made our walk interesting and exciting, and the 40 minutes were gone in the snap of a finger.
