Some of our lovely year 6 children had a fantastic time last week on their residential to the Isle of Wight. They had a jam packed week full of team building and fun activities! The pupils were amazing!

Year 5 Trip to Mercer’s Lake
Children in Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed an excellent two days of team-building and
water sports activities at Mercer's Lake. They worked collaboratively to design and
build their own rafts, which they then tested out on the lake. After a well-earned
lunch break, the children took part in a range of exciting activities including
paddleboarding, kayaking and windsurfing. Throughout both days, all the children
demonstrated enthusiasm, resilience and teamwork. They had an amazing
experience and truly embodied the Yattendon values in everything they did.

Fiesta Fun in Year 5!
To bring the study of Brazil alive in Year 5, last Wednesday was ‘Samba Day’. The
following was written by Charlie:
Samba Day was incredibly fun! We got to play the drums and other instruments,
have a party and make our own headdresses. We performed the carnival music
we had practised to our parents at the end of the day! Charlie Y5

Last week, Year 4 enjoyed a day steeped in Viking history.
Many of the children dressed in Viking costume and a few had
weaponry to match. They had lots of fun whilst learning about the Vikings! Greensand Multi Academy Trust
