We began our final day at Lockerbie with the challenge of packing our suitcases and sleeping bags before enjoying our final delicious breakfast. We all then learnt some volleyball skills on the field. Some of us had abseiling as our final activity, whilst one group had the challenge of initiative…

Today, we spent time playing with Reception class. We had lots of toys, books and games and had the chance to talk to all the children. We were then paired up with our buddies and are looking forward to having lots of fun getting to know them this year. 

This week in Reception we have painted our self portraits. We focused on our face details, our eye colour, hair colour and skin tone. 

The day started with two groups doing archery and another learning to fence. We all had to work in teams at raft building in the afternoon, with great success. We also tackled some initiative exercises, learnt how to survive in the wilds and had a go at abseiling.

We are learning about graffiti art this half-term and started by making our own names in a graffiti style. We used shading to create a 3D effect. We also chose bright colours that pop out of the page. We are really proud of our pictures and we hope you like them too!

The rain held off for us this morning, whilst we all enjoyed canoeing and kayaking on the lake. In the afternoon and evening we had a variety of activities to try out, including low ropes, crate stacking and axe throwing. 

We had so much fun today, we learnt some Bollywood dancing, we got to use some scarves and we also learnt some skills with the hoops. 

What a busy first week back. Steve came in with Harold the giraffe to talk about looking after our bodies.

The sun shone on us all day, as we climbed walls, built dens, negotiated the high ropes course and practised our aim in target shooting. We all took part in orienteering, with Mrs Anderson and Miss Huddleston narrowly winning (by one point!).

Today, Year 4 have been busy working together with some fun activities. In Maths, they have been playing a board game with their partners to help them to practice their times tables knowledge. In PE, the children worked in teams to complete a range of challenges including transferring a hoop…

We had lots of fun exploring and seeing what we could find. We found lots of different coloured leaves, conkers, sticks and some large spiders making webs. 

Harold taught us all about our bodies and how to keep them happy and healthy.
