This morning, Miss Hunn and Mrs Brown had the pleasure of taking our year 5 and 6 runners to the Northern Gateway Sports Park for their cross country event.  We came away with a medal, some top 10 finished and some super speedy children. We were both so proud of all of the children. They showed all of our school values in abundance! They cheered others along to the finish line, kept themselves going being resilient.  Both of us were so proud of the children, they were true role models.  Here is a photo of our fabulous team!

 Although a soggy morning greeted us, the rain didn't dampen our spirits as we prepared for another action-packed morning of activities. After a warming breakfast of pastries, sausage baguettes and toast, we headed off in our groups to complete the final two activities of the trip. Those children tackling the aerial trekking and zip line had to show a huge amount of resilience and determination to overcome any fears, on top of the unrelenting wind! A particular highlight of the trip, according to the children, was the Bush Craft activity which allowed them to collect the correct sticks and learn the skills to create their own fire. Each group celebrated their fiery achievements with a much welcome mug of hot chocolate and a toasted marshmallow. Perfect on a drizzly day like today! Well done to all the children for demonstrating many of our schools' core values throughout the trip, and giving the adults many smiles and much entertainment. We hope they return with many happy memo...

 After a quick trip down the A12, we all arrived safely at Danbury and were met by glorious sunshine. Following a quick check in at our cabins and a chance to ready our beds we headed out in groups to start our activities. The children have already shown some great resilience, teamwork, courage and excitement tackling the zip wire, high ropes and assault course! They stayed focussed during archery and learnt some new life skills in bush craft! After a hearty dinner and a torch-lit trip to the shower block, we all settled down for a game or two of bingo, a bedtime film and the promise of an early night (!) ready for a fun-packed morning of activities.
