Class of 2020

Year 6 have had another great day in Scotland! The children have been busy fencing, rifle shooting, climbing, raft building, stand-up-paddleboarding, crate stacking, zip line and wide games. Look out for the famous Lockerbie broccoli too!
 

It’s been another brilliant day at Lockerbie! All of the children spent the morning on the water doing kayaking and canoeing, as well as some impressive jetty jumping. Afternoon activities included high ropes, blind trail and the obstacle course before an evening camp fire with songs, stories,…

We have been evaluating different gymnastic sequences today. We had to include a mirrored image, a matched image, a counter balance and a tension counter balance. We observed whether each group had included various heights, synchronised actions and all the key element we have practised in our…
