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…

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.

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. 

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!).

Year 6 set off for Lockerbie at lunchtime today. They have thrown themselves into the afternoon and evening’s activities with gusto, most of them ending the day covered in mud! 

This morning, we had the chance to play wheelchair basketball. It was great fun!

Our wonderful TA Mrs Winder is an expert in cheerleading and today taught us some moves and lifts.  We had a great time practising in groups. It needed good teamwork and focus.  She also told us all about the history of cheerleading in the USA.  Thank you Mrs Winder! We loved…

We had a great morning looking at the English game of Crown Green Bowling. We definitely improved our technique and became more confident with the rolling skill. 
We enjoyed trying to beat Coach Dan! 

We then looked at English landmarks. We were excited to look at the Eden Project in…

Today we had a great time trying out crown green bowling with Coach Dan. It was lovely and sunny and we really enjoyed trying a different sport. It wasn’t always easy to hit the target but we showed great perseverance and determination (even in the heat!).

A mixture of Y4s, 5s and 6s had a great day out today at the Lancaster cricket tournament at Westgate and Torrisholme Cricket Club. Although we didn’t win the tournament, we learnt a lot and had a fantastic team spirit. And the sun shone all day long!

Year 1 enjoyed Pedal and Scoot today. Thank you to all our parent helpers.

We have had lots of fun learning to play crown green bowls with Coach Dan. At the start of the afternoon we struggled to roll the bowls onto the target but by the end we had improved so much. We played lots of mini tournaments that focused on our technique and distance.
