They headed into the country, and enjoyed a 30 minute woodland walk, before going underground to explore Sandford Levy; which is part cave and part mine. In a trip led by [Mendip Outdoor Pursuits](https://mendip.me/book/outdoor/), the girls' instructor Rhodri, told them all about how the mine had been used by the Home Guard. They also looked out for cave spiders, moths and bats. Although unfortunately for Charlotte, they didn't see a bat for her to tick off in her *I-Spy* book - maybe next time.  "The girls just see this as an exciting day out," explained Headteacher Mrs Brown, "But we see adventuring and exploring, as a useful tool for making learning really interactive, highly engaging, and above all, fun!"  To find out more, you can sign up [here](https://www.redmaidshigh.co.uk/virtual-open-morning-juniors) for our virtual open morning on Saturday 7 November.  Date Posted: 13 October, 2020 [Share](http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/news-article/weekend-adventures-) ## Articles for: Junior ![Taking the plunge | Redmaids' High School](https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/P9270184%20edited%20-450_th.jpg?width=770&name=P9270184%20edited%20-450_th.jpg) **Taking the plunge | Redmaids' High School** Date Posted: 2 October, 2020 READ MORE ![Stars of stage and screen | Redmaids' High School](https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Author%20visit%20and%20sixth%20form%20drama%20students%20027-450_th.jpg?width=770&name=Author%20visit%20and%20sixth%20form%20drama%20students%20027-450_th.jpg) **Stars of stage and screen | Redmaids' High School** Date Posted: 9 September, 2019 READ MORE ![Lest we forget: a very special remembrance Sunday](https://news.redmaidshigh.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Roy%20Baker.jpg?width=770&name=Roy%20Baker.jpg) **Lest we forget: a very special remembrance Sunday** Date Posted: 14 November, 2021 This Remembrance Sunday will mean something very special to one member of our community in particular: Roy Baker, our...
