Today was the final

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!
