A myriad of activites yesterday including canoeing, climbing tower, axe throwing and abseiling. The children continue to impress Mrs Fry and Mrs Stedham (who has joined for the final 2 days).

The only tears were from Mr Luckhurst at having to go back to work yesterday morning!

Children are currently packing ready to leave after their final two activities today. Mrs Fry would like 10 minutes when they get back just return any money left, medication and their certificates.

We will keep you updated when the children are en route back to school.

We’ve had a wonderful day today! All the children did a forest adventure which saw us wading through streams and mud. Some of the children did canoeing and some of them did archery and a high ropes course called Pentagon Challenge!

We’ve had hash browns, sausage and mash, spaghetti and meatballs as well as spending £5 in the tuck shop.

Mr Luckhurst is looking forward to a good nights sleep!

A good day on residential today despite lots of rain. They’ve stayed really cheerful. We’ve had canoeing, abseiling, axe throwing, crate stacking, climbing, den building and fire making.

They were great last night too! Mrs Fry

The Year 6 children arrived safely at lunchtime and settled in well. They’ve been crate stacking, team building and on pentagon-high wires. They are off for their first dinner very soon!

We will continue to deliver updates here on Facebook - photos are unlikely due to poor mobile signal at Hindleap.
