The children in Year 1 have been using paper plates and pasta to design and make their own African jewellery! Each colour they use to make their jewellery has a different meaning too✨
Year 5 had a fantastic final morning at Barton Hall which saw all the groups finishing their activities. They finished the trip off with more Trapeze, Rifle Shooting and Aeroball activities before heading home on the coach. What a fantastic week they have had!

Fun in the sun was the theme of the penultimate day of the Year 5 Residential as the English Riviera continued to be mostly bathed in sunshine, although it was certainly a cocktail with a twist laced as it was with a bitterly cold northerly wind and the threat of rain showers.
Starting with a swim in the open air pool, (warmer than the Lido they all said!), they moved on to Archery Tag where, as the name implies, you shoot arrows at each other rather than a target!
There was more vertical quests after lunch with Jacob's Ladder where upper body strength, lightness of foot, agility and teamwork were definitely key attributes for success, before their sense of direction was seriously challenged with Orienteering which took place around the Manor House.
The day was concluded with Campfire, sitting in the woods and being regaled with stories, anecdotes and songs by the PGL staff - a fitting way to close off the day with toasted marshmallows as an added treat.
In summary, the children have been brilliant throughout the week in all aspects - champions in their own right, hopefully like Heart of Midlothian come Saturday afternoon.
Their attendance and attitude to the rigours and challenges of the week have been superb, for sure, and they have been regularly mindful of time in various situations such as helping others in and out of harnesses.
Going forwards, the week on the sunny south coast, well known for its sandy coves (or combes) flanked by red sandstone cliffs, has been a huge success.
All 37 of the boys and girls can rightly be proud of themselves in how they have conducted themselves and all that they have achieved.
