From paddle boarding to game making.....

Some of our Year 6 students are just returning from an unforgettable residential trip to Dorset, and what an adventure it was!

From the moment they arrived, the excitement was non-stop. They kicked things off with fun on the inflatable assault course before paddle boarding, mastering their balance and playing games with their friends back on the shore!

Next, they stepped back in time with a visit to the historic Corfe Castle, exploring ancient ruins and soaking up the stories of the past.

For the thrill-seekers, coasteering was a real highlight — climbing, jumping, and swimming along the rugged Dorset coastline took courage and teamwork, and they absolutely smashed it!

The fun didn’t stop there. The group gathered to celebrate a special birthday, making it a day to remember with lots of laughs and cake.

They also got to channel their inner survival expert, learning to make fire and practising important outdoor skills.

And of course, no summer adventure is complete without a slip and slide — pure joy, laughter, and plenty of splashes!

A huge well done to all the students for their enthusiasm and bravery, and a big thank you to the staff for making this experience possible.

Here’s to memories that will last a lifetime! More photos from the trip can be found on our Facebook account here: Facebook

 

Meanwhile, the rest of year 6 were at school having their own fun. Here is a recap of the week by Yashvee:

At the start of the week it was quite… interesting. We started with making our own ideas for our own ideas for Islands. Then, after break, we researched what calories,  ingredients and allergies pizzas have.

Next, we designed our own board games for Ks1. On Tuesday, we planned what ingredients we should put on our pizza and followed with a quick game of Kahoot.

Wedneday we started off by hosting a sports day for ks1. After that, we had some free time on the chromebooks and did some paragraph writing on what our island looked like. After that, we did some finishing touches on our game (We called Dodge or dare). Then on Thursday, we did more Kahoot and blookit followed by P.E.

Finally, on Friday, we finished our game, baked our pizzas which had too many toppings, and, of course, presented our games to KS1 classes.

Well done to all the year 6's who made some fantastic games - KS1, Nursery and reception had an amazing afternoon testing them all out.
