The weather may not have been so good today, but it didn’t dampen our spirits. We have enjoyed another day of exciting activities including rock climbing, bushcraft and archery. Some of us also had our first experience of ghyll  scrambling. Unfortunately we couldn’t take photos during this…

What a glorious day today! The sun shone as two groups went canoeing on Bassenthwaite Lake, whilst others practised their survival skills in the woods above the Manor (including baking some rather interesting bread over a camp fire). Some of us enjoyed crate stacking and challenging ourselves to…

Year 6 have arrived safely at Bassenfell Manor, after a beautiful journey through the heart of the Lake District. We began our stay by working in our activity groups to solve a number of challenges involving water balloons. The better we did at our challenges, the more points we earned. We then…

We have enjoyed doing dance with Coach Louise this half term. 

Coach Louise has joined us again this half term.  She is teaching us lots of new dance moves.  We also get chance to ‘freestyle’!  Can you tell which of these pictures are freestyle and which are following a routine?

Here we are using the big apparatus in P.E.  We are getting really brave now and lots of us have ventured all the way to the top of the big apparatus!  The ropes are also proving challenging but every week some of us manage to get a little bit higher.
