We're back! And what an adventure we've had! The children have been such stars! There are lots of photos to see.
And I will download them over the weekend. I'm sure the children will fill you in on some of the highlights! My favourite challenge was the mountain walk on a very windy day. (And, of course, when they finally fell asleep at 11.30!).

Hello from Arthog!

Everyone is having a fantastic time, the weather is excellent and the children have been enjoying a wide range of adventurous activities! Today Mrs Lill's group have been down an old slate mine. This was an exciting and scary experience, including going deep into the mountain to see the furthest mining chamber. We were underground for three and a half hours. It was amazing to emerge into the bright sunshine at the end of the tunnel.

In the afternoon, we went gorge walking, which included a complete dunking in  a freezing mountain stream. We clmbed up a waterfall and the children were fantastically supportive of each other.

Mrs Dosajh's group have been rock climbing in a quarry, using proper roped climbing trchniques. After lunch, they canoed......coming back tho the centre soaking wet, but very happy. We are all waiting for a tasty tea!!

So far, the food has been excellent and most children have eaten seconds! Some had two cooked breakfasts this morning......they have certainly burned the calories off today.

See you soon
Mrs Lill

National Skipping Day!!

During National Skipping Day the whole school took part in a one minute skipping challenge during 

our morning playtime. Bronze Ambassadors and Playleaders helped to organise and record results which were then shared in morning assembly.  Certificates were handed out according to first, second and third in each year group - but in our eyes everyone was a winner!  Keep up the skipping!!   

Here are our Gold, Silver and Bronze Winners!! 

Visit from PDSA to Class One

On Wednesday PDSA came into Class One to talk about the welfare and care of pets.  Class One have been finding out about Pets recently and they were able to ask and answer lots of questions of the visitors. Here are some pictures of our exciting afternoon.

   
Hope you enjoy looking at our pictures as much as we enjoyed the afternoon!

Sport Relief

We have had a wonderful day today raising money for Sport Relief 2014. It was lovely to see all the children dressed in their sporting clothes!
Each class has had their usual coaching session with our specialist sports coaches, Coach Wayne and Coach Ashley. The classes also had an extra session each, where the coaches arranged them into country teams and held a mini Olympics.

Chaos in Class 2

Unfortunately, Mrs Preece-Dawson must have left one of Class 2's windows ajar on Thursday night and, it seems, a rare Slimy Stone Dragon managed to squeeze in and leave a trail of destruction.

Fortunately, we found an old instruction text telling us how to trap this particular species of dragon. It was all muddled up but the children quickly managed to sequence it and are now experts.

There is more information about these rare, chess-playing dragons in the corridor outside Class 2. Please come and read the children's descriptions of the dragon so that you can keep an eye out for the one currently on the loose in the Shifnal/Sheriffhales area.

Look out for some AMAZING instructions for looking after your dog. They are on Lend

 Me Your Literacy! Coming soon....don't get a dog without reading them. Class one are pet experts!
