My Teriffic Trip to Kingswood by Isobel

These past few weeks we have been doing loads of activities and trips to amazing places. My favourite thing has to be Kingswood! We did so many activities there, around about 35! I’m sure you have already seen the pictures of the leap of faith and Jacobs’s ladder. The first night we got to stay up till 10:30!!! Because it was the first night. The next few nights we only went to bed at 9:30 because we had an early start at 7:00 and a day full of activities. We had wonderful meals there and were looked after very well. The Yr 6 had a spectacular time at Kingswood.

Big Win for Yr 6 Football Team by Alex

On the 10^th October 2013 the selected 10 from the year six football team went-accompanied by their amazing manager Mr Hazard!- To the school of St Helena to compete in a football tournament, against other schools such as North Primary and St John’s Green and won every single match they played and never conceded a goal at all throughout the tournament which they won! They came back from the tournament holding the trophy high with smiling, a good days work for the team.

My Week at Kingswood by Imogen Yr 6

In the last couple of weeks we have done lots of trips, fun activities and much more. Personally the most exciting thing we did, although only year six did it, was our week long trip to Kingswood. There were many fun things we did - I’m sure you will already have seen most which has been written up on the blog, Leap of Faith to Environmental Art, there was so much to do! We all loved sharing a dorm with our friends and there was only up to six or seven people in a dorm and the dorms were cosy, we all got to stay up until 10:00, 10:30 latest! The meals were lovely; we all had them in a large hall. Although we didn’t stay inside much, the size of the Tudor house was humongous; there was even a large table from Harry Potter!

Apple Orchard Visit

Today our Reception children and some very kind parent helpers took a lovely walk to our local Apple Orchards. They spent some time walking amongst the apple trees learning about harvest time and the tasty Apple Juice made at the farm.

Bikeability

This week our Year 6 pupils are taking their Cycling Proficiency lessons. It is always great to see so many children bringing their bikes into school. After initial road safety instructions the children were taken off site with their instructors to practice their new skills on the road. Good Luck!!

Welcome back Year 6

Our Year 6 pupils have returned from their field trip to Kingswood and among them our Web Site Reporters. Check the blog over the next couple of weeks for the inside story on the adventures and activities of their fun filled week.
