PUPILS from Southflelds Junior School, Hillfields, Coventry
PUPILS from Southflelds Junior School, Hillfields, Coventry, are enjoying a term-time stay away from city life for the next two weeks at a " camp site school" in the Warwickshire countryside. Forty-eight of them are attending a field-study course, organised by the school. They have pitched camp in the middle of a field at Holt Farm, Napton-on-the-Hill, near Southam.
After an early call in the morning and a country-style breakfast, the children, aged 10 and 11, take part in country rambles, boating on the canal and visiting nearby farms and quarries. " The object of the course is to give the children a chance to find out about the countryside generally, and to get to know the country code, " said Mr. D. H. Thomas, the headmaster, " Most of them live in the centre of the city.and have very little chance of coming out and visiting the countryside. " We hope we re also doing something for racial harmony year. Half the children who come out here are immigrants, and we feel we re giving children of all nationalities a chance to learn to live together for a time." Twelve children at a time spend three days at the campwhere they are accommodated in caravans and tents with a marquee " cook house" and eating hall. Cooking, washing-up and cleaning chores are shared among the children and the four teachers who are supervising them on the course.
" The country air has certainly done wonders for their appetites, " said Mr. Thomas. " They re eating us out of house and home. And the childrens verdict? " Smashing, " said 11-y ear-old Manjit Singh. " This is the first time I ve ever been to stay in the countryside. It took a bit of getting used to at first sleeping in a tent and having lessons in the open air, but its so nice to be away from all the noise and pollution of the city. :I think I ll become a farmer when I grow up." " The foods great as well, " added Charanjit Singh, aged 11. " We ve all had a great time and will be so sorry to leave. I think we ve learned more out here tha

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this heartwarming photo print, pupils from Southfields Junior School in Hillfields, Coventry are captured enjoying a term-time stay away from the bustling city life. For the next two weeks, these 10 and 11-year-old children have found solace in a "camp site school" nestled amidst the serene Warwickshire countryside. Organized by their school, forty-eight eager learners have pitched camp at Holt Farm near Southam. The objective of this field-study course is to provide these urban-dwelling students with an opportunity to explore and understand the wonders of nature while familiarizing themselves with the country code. Under the guidance of four dedicated teachers, these young adventurers embark on country rambles, boat rides along picturesque canals, and visits to nearby farms and quarries. Sharing caravans and tents with a marquee serving as their communal cookhouse and eating hall fosters camaraderie among them. Away from noise and pollution, Manjit Singh expresses his delight at experiencing countryside living for the first time. He dreams of becoming a farmer one day. Charanjit Singh adds that they've not only had an incredible time but also learned invaluable lessons during their stay.
