So many talented children told school about their achievements today.  We have had an exciting after school science club running, led by staff from The Centre for Life. They have been making animal fact files and then made their animals. The resources the children have studied and the expertise the staff have brought has made this a brilliant club.  We have new rugby stars; more incredible crochet; a kick boxing belt; football awards and a creative superstar. We were also lucky enough to have our ocarina group perform for us today. There is so much going on and we love it! 

Our last day has been filled with adventure, joy and laughter. We’ve had such a good time! Think everyone may need an early night tonight……

Wow! What an incredible day! River rafting, bridge abseiling and aeroball. The children have all been brilliant and we are so proud of them!

We are having an amazing time at Ford Castle. The children have already been having lots of adventures on the zip wire, assault course, vertical challenge and rifle shooting. And this evening we have played a game of Ambush! We are organised in our dormitories and everyone is happy! Keep checking in for more photos 😊😊😊😊😊

Our first celebration assembly was, as usual, packed with talented children!    A number of children from across the different year groups were congratulated for running in the Great North Run and we were also very proud of a pupil who used to be at Westerhope who won their race - well done Dylan!   Then children shared gymnastics, dancing and football awards and we were amazed by some incredible crochet creations.    A great start to the year everyone.  

Year 5 made a start on the Amazon inspired mission for our Commando Joe’s project this half term. Ed Stafford took 2 and a half years to walk the length of the Amazon River and we have lots of missions linked to his adventure. Today we used team work and cooperation skills to choose our equipment before navigating our way across the river rapids! We even had to look out for piranhas!! Great effort everyone!
