Today was the final day of the Year 4 residential.
We started the morning with another large breakfast and then we were straight into aeroball and grass sledging! After a drinks break we then all headed to the climbing walls. All the children took part, with some racing to the top and others conquering their fears! They helped each other with words of encouragement and learnt how to assist with the ropes. After a pizza and salad lunch it was time to load up the bags and head home.
All the children have had a brilliant few days, growing in confidence, working in teams and building on their independence! We all had so much fun with lots of laughs and fantastic experiences!
Reception have been learning about the keyboard in Computing and worked very hard in their first typing lesson. They learnt the home row, positioning both of their hands correctly across the letters and used their knowledge from the classroom to identify capital letters on the keyboard. ⌨

Day 2 of the Year 4 residential kicked off with a hearty breakfast in the Manor House as we all stocked up on bacon, egg, sausages, rice krispies, fruit and yoghurt! We needed the energy as there was a big day of activities lying in wait. Then, we headed straight off, wandering through beautiful sheep-filled countryside paths until we arrived at the lake for our session on the water. We each kitted up and had a chance in the kayaks and canoes. We tried our hand at canoe polo and got absolutely soaked!
Following a quick change into dry clothes, we stocked up on chicken nuggets and got strapped up and ready for our two afternoon activities - High Rope and Zip-Lining.
All of us were extremely brave and attempted the high ropes challenge! Lots of courage and problem-solving was used as they traversed the tops of the frames, whilst the zip liners had to climb halfway up a giant tree and plunged 50m down the zipline - everybody tried it at least once and had a blast!
After a lovely barbeque on the lawns over sunset, we were ready to embark on an exciting evening of Manor Olympics challenges!
