Today we have used our new badminton nets in PE. We have practised serving the shuttlecock and worked on keeping a rally going with our partner for as long as possible.

Sooty and Ruth, from Sportsreach, started our Walk through the Bible sessions this week. So far we have learnt about creation through to Isaac with actions to help us along the way.

It will be interesting to see how much we can remember as we add more actions week by week.

Year 6 were transported back in time this morning as they learnt about the secret work behind the scenes of code-breakers and spies during WW2. We learnt about the work of the aerial reconnaissance planes and the photographic interpreters back at base who checked photos for evidence of enemy…

Today it was the boys’ turn to go along to Lancaster and Morecambe College for their tournament. There were 25 schools represented and our team of Y6 boys worked really well as a team. They won two games in their pool, drew one and lost one, narrowly missing out on a place in the quarter finals.

This morning, we ventured down to the woods to rehearse and film our own performance of Jabberwocky. In groups, we found…

Friday came all too quickly and after two activities and a final delicious lunch, we headed back to school. 

What a busy and varied day we have had today. Some groups tackled the very muddy obstacle course, whilst others climbed and learnt survival skills in the woods. Everyone had a go at axe throwing, which was a new activity for this year. All the children showed courage and determination on the high…

The sun was shining for us again today as we tackled various activities before lunch, including crate stacking, zip wire, rifle shooting and the ever popular obstacle course. In the afternoon we all spent the afternoon on the lake, practising our canoeing and kayaking skills. 

After a good first night’s sleep and a delicious breakfast, we all headed out for our first full day of activities. Each group spent some time on the lake, working as a team to build a raft, which was then tested out - with varying degrees of success! Other activities included low ropes (where we…
