Year 6 Isle of Wight Trip - Daily Reports

It certainly looks like the childen who went to the Isle of Wight last week (9-13 October) had an amazing adventure. The children were exposed to some things they have never had a chance to undertake, and they have grasped every opportunity with both hands and had a terrific time.

They have overcome their fears by claiming the high wires, they have abseiled down sheer drops, made camps in the woods, and even learned how to light a camp fire and toast marshmellows. It has been a tremendous opportunity and we're proud of them all for doing so well. Big thanks to all the teachers too!


Day Five - Friday 13 October

We have just finished our last activity, had lunch and have boarded the coach to travel home. A fantastic week had by all.
