After months of anticipation we’re here at the Year 6 residential at Lockerbie Manor!  We waved goodbye and set off just after lunch and arrived in time for a tour and our first activities.

Thank you to Steve, who came into Reception. He spoke to us about our bodies and how we can stay healthy. We also got a visit from Harold the giraffe.

Steve from SCARF came in and talked about how we can keep healthy and safe. We discussed the foods we should eat to keep healthy, the importance of exercise and sleep. Harold the giraffe also helped us learn that message!

We had so much fun in Reception. We played with lots of new toys, learnt our school rules and enjoyed a story. 

Well done Year 3 for your first KS2 Sports!  There was loads of resilience, perseverance and of course endurance on show!
