A fantastic time was had by all the Year 6 children that attended the residential trip. As the pictures show, they enjoyed an action-packed three days at PGL Dearne Valley, taking part in exciting activities and working together as a team.
The trip was full of fun, laughter, and new experiences, creating special memories that will last a long time. Overall, it was a wonderful and successful visit enjoyed by everyone.
