We have had another fantastic day – the pictures [and videos] below are just a snapshot of the fun we’ve had and I’m sure the children will fill in any blanks. Two more days to go and we can’t wait.
Wow! This was comfortably my favourite moment of the residential so far. One or two members of our group were very frightened by the idea of taking that first step over the edge; we had trembling hands and wobbly knees. Conquering those fears and tackling this wall is not easily done and I am so …
The children have just completed their 5th activity of the day, taking their steps comfortably north of 10,000 and hopefully guaranteeing another good nights rest. The instructors have been complimenting the children on their manners and how well they are following the instructions and we have all been having a cracking time.
Having begun our journey through the woods with enthusiasm in short supply, the children had a fantastic time on the hill walk enjoying uncharacteristically warm Scottish weather. Groups 3 and 4 also enjoyed getting out on the lake to do canoeing and kayaking. Bring on the next activities.

In PSHE we have been celebrating LGBT+ History Month. We have been studying inspirational LGBT+ artists such as Keith Haring and Doris Hatt. We took ideas from their amazing art and we have all had a go at designing an LGBT+ badge for a competition to create next year’s winning badge. Here are some of …
Within our dance topic this half term, we have looked at performing a non locomotor movement using Bollywood actions to complete a dance phrase. The children learnt Bangra Shoulders, Changing the Lightbulbs, Hands on Hips, Round The World as well as interpreting the music in their own individual style! As promised, I said I would …
