They ran, they climbed, they paddled, they had a blast…and they were exhausted!

Over the bank holiday weekend, the children from Year 4 visited Marchant’s Hill PGL activity centre for a weekend of team building, activities and personal challenges. Some of the many activities on offer for the children included zipline, giant paddle boarding, archery and eco explorer, along with a variety of evening entertainment such as a campfire and balloon splash!

The children were absolutely fantastic; so many of the adults commented on how wonderful it was to see them push and challenge themselves out of their comfort zone. For me personally, it is wonderful to see these ambassadors for our school show such courage and determination. Over the course of the weekend, they were fantastic representatives of our school in all facets. I think the parents would be truly astonished at how tidy some of their bedrooms were!

My personal thanks must go to all the adults who gave up their bank holiday weekend to make this trip possible for the children:

• Mrs Mead
• Mrs Prescott
• Mrs Duller
• Mrs Powell
• Miss Dray
• Miss Donnelly
• Miss Vane

I look forward to hosting the invitation evening for the year 3 children about next year’s trip next term.
