Congratulations to today’s ’12 days of Christmas’ Attendance Challenge Winners!
On the final day, the children did their final activities including archery and low ropes. They then all came together to participate in team games such as cricket, rounders football and frisbee!
On the children’s second day, they have split to do different activities this morning. Groups 1 and 2 went off to do some kayaking and canoeing while groups 3 and 4 developed their teamwork on the low ropes and then participated in archery, demonstrating wonderful progress.
After a lunch of hot dogs, pasta, jacket potatoes and pasties, groups 1 and 2 participating in bivvy shelter making, the low ropes, underground maze and axe throwing. Groups 3 and 4 went to participate in Kayaking and Canoeing.
After dinner, the children have done their last activity of the day which was either low ropes or the underground maze.
The children will have two more activities tomorrow, including ‘team games’, before having lunch and returning to school.
After arriving and having a tour of the grounds, the children enjoyed their first activity in their groups which was either Axe throwing, Abseiling or making bivvy shelters.
They then had their dinner which consisted of either chicken tikka masala, beef chilli, vegetarian chilli, pork, waffle fries, vegetables and a donut for dessert.
After some free time in their rooms, the children have just finished their last activity of the day with some other groups abseiling, making bivvy shelters or going in the underground maze.
It has been wonderful to see children being risk takers, facing their fears, being confident communicators and collaborators.
Congratulations to all of our children that performed ‘Little Red’ to their families yesterday. We had children ranging from Year 1-6 who told the story of Little Red Riding Hood in a musical way. Thanks goes to Miss Needham, who put the performance together.
Today, our house captains led a Boccia tournament, which was our first intra-house competition of the school year.
The children selected were from a range of year groups, and performed brilliantly, with some really close games! Well done to our young officials who helped the games run smoothly.
The results are on our school games noticeboard!
EYFS children have been celebrating World Nursery Rhyme week by learning a rhyme a day. This year the rhymes were: Twinkle Twinkle, Old Macdonald Had a Farm, The Big Ship Sails, Incy Wincy Spider and Five Currant Buns. Nursery children have worked together as a team using a squirble to sing Twinkle Twinkle, instruments matched to animals for Old Macdonald, a ring game for Incy Wincy spider and a shop with a till and real pennies for Five Currant Buns.
